New year, New Mix CD

As a child of the 80's and 90's a mix tape is something special.  Something you create for a friend or "special friend."  Making a mix CD is an annual tradition for me.  It started in 2011 when I met my future wife.  I made a CD for her to "get to know me" a little better.  Since then, every February I have made her a CD.  This year she had the idea for me to make a CD for her of things we have gone to see over the preceding year (February 2013 - February 2014.)  I thought that was a wonderful idea so I set about looking at our Google Calendars and compiling a list.  Here is the playlist of songs I compiled.  There are a couple of special songs on there.  First of all, while we did not see Bob Marley, we did see The Wailers as part of the LP Tour.  So I have a CD of Bob Marley's last concert before his death which I used complete that part of the mix CD.  I also found some Youtube videos of Fun and Tegan and Sara which I converted to MP3 to include.

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...
