Halfway .

Midterms are over.  I did not do as well as I had hoped.  However, I still have good grades, high B or A in all my classes.  It has been WAY too long since I have taken any classes.  I am not sure yet what lessons to take away from the exams.  I feel like I am learning but as with most things, I do better in actual, real world situations rather than in a class.

The volume level in the house has increased to it's previous levels.  All four boys are back home now.  Gina drove 18 hours round trip this past Saturday to get her kids.  They started school yesterday.  It is hard to believe we are less than four months  away from the end of school.

This is week 2 of soccer.  Last week did not get rained out as I feared.  Instead we played on a soaked synthetic grass field.  Diving on that field after all the rain we had was very wet and cold.  We won despite the fact that four goals were allowed.  Not my best showing.  This week there is a forecast of rain/snow, depending on which weather source you choose, for game day.

Name The People

I was asked by a co-worker to create some Revit families from CAD blocks. They are 2D plan representations of people. I asked the requester if she wanted them named any certain way because this is what I saw.

New Driver + New Car = Less $

Well, the kids are getting older and today our eldest received his license from the state of NC. So that means our insurance will increase, dramatically. Not only that, but we are once again a 3 car family. The wife has the Kia Sedona so that we can accommodate the family of six. We still have the Dodge Charger, and last week I bought a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. Gina and I had been in discussions for a couple of weeks about the "car situation" and I had been tentatively shopping online for a small hatchback. After searching Autotrader , Carmax , Carvana I found the Hyundai through Autotrader at a local dealer . So I messaged them online to make sure the car I had seen was still available and to make arrangements to see the car and take it for a test drive. I left work last Wednesday at lunch and made my way to the dealer. After driving the car I decided it was the right price and just what I had been looking for. Gina was away on an overnight field trip so I sent some tex...

A Thursday Weekend Wrap-up

It was another concert weekend. We kicked it off Friday at Local 506 seeing regional bands Youth League , Knowne Ghost and Cuzco . Earlier in the week my son told me that he remembered seeing the bassist for Youth League at Wreckingball last summer. When we arrived at the club I saw the band outside talking. I told my son to ask him if he was indeed there last summer. Being too shy he declined. I on the other hand have not many reservations about approaching people on the street to talk to them. When asked, he confirmed that he was there. Knowne Ghost was a last minute replacement for Outbound and I was grateful because I was able to hear a "new to me" band. Youth League Saturday morning was an early start. I got up early to see Gina off for her trip to the SAS conference in Orlando. I watched the first half of the Merseyside Derby. Then I headed out to watch local soccer as some of my friends were playing each other before my own 10:00 kickoff.  My game was a victory...
