After turning on my new computer, JEB (Jon-Erik, N.A. Pres.) went on to say how he thinks Macs are overhyped. They're OK as a home platform, but are hell on corporate exchange servers. I think he's on to something because the old server ran by four squirrels and two chipmunks at my old job Ehlert crashed on a daily basis. I had access to e-mail there about as much as I've had people viewing my house for sale: never. I'm sure JEB's right, that it had a lot to do with all those fancy laid-back hoodie sweater Macs on the server. Maybe the whole suit and tie thing is a fair and accurate representation of a PC: They don't suck the life out of corporate servers. But, maybe South Park's parody got it right.
Last night I returned to Ohio from my weekend trip to Indiana. We had a somewhat successful weekend with our three pro ATV riders on Saturday and our Finnish Husaberg rider in the dirt bike race Sunday. It was fun having Finland native Valtteri Salonen here so he could experience a demanding three-hour race in the States. I think his Swedish girlfriend, blonde surprise surprise, was more excited to go shopping today!
Now, I'm looking forward to returning to California. I never thought I'd actually say that, but I am. This two-week road trip has taken a lot out of me and I can't wait to sleep in my own bed for a change. On days like yesterday, I sure wished my bed was still in Minnesota in the house I can't sell along with me!
On Sunday I had to miss out on my nephew Brennen's birthday party, and just two months ago I wasn't there to celebrate my niece Elyse's birthday either. Those are the things that make this move difficult. At my niece and nephew's age, they grow up so fast and I'd hate to miss out on that. Even without me there, Tracy made an appearance and gave Brennen a sweet Lego set. Brennen told me he also got a remote control car and heelie shoes that roll. He was so excited he could barely talk. To be a kid again, huh?
I don't think missing family and friends will get any easier until Tracy moves to SoCal with me, but at least I'm distracted with all the traveling, moving and new job responsibilities. Today, I was just told we could start at 6:30 a.m. and be done at 3 p.m. I think I'll like those hours ... as long as they don't turn out to be 6:30 - 5:30.

I too am growing up fast Vogts. I am sad that you missed the first time I went poopoo on the toilet. Would you like me to send you a picture?
We've now upgraded to 6 squirrels and 4 chipmunks. So now we don't crash nearly as much, but the smell coming out of the server room is getting much worse.
I would love a picture. Please only send ones that look like tar
