"Sent my head into a backspin"

Two months into the year and it seems as though it will be another year of perpetual change. It's started with an all night dance party before leading into a ten-day Dexter bender and then a BANG* on the corner of fourth and Campbell.

Rogers has been wearing foot gear to heal a broken foot, has been to the after hours medical center for x-rays on a badly bruised arm and to a regular medical center to drain a badly bruised thumb. She's been looking incessantly for a job...any job that will keep her busy from 8 to 5 p.m. and won't have her working every weekend or evenings. She's had a rough 2008!

Meanwhile, I'm maintaining a status quo. In January, I was in Chicago twice and really enjoyed dining and meeting with two of our clients that I spent about 70% of my time working with last year. Aside from that it has been fairly monotanous recently. They really like me, which has been great. And perhaps most exciting is that one of our lead consultants verbalized that she would back me moving to Indy in a couple of years when I want to be there.

The two of us continue to enjoy several TV shows despite the lengthy writer's strike. Recently Big Brother, Survivor and Lost have kept us busy. For the first time since moving to Detroit, we're really starting to get involved in our church and meet people, which has been good. We're still looking for a Wii...

We enjoyed our first 2008 trip back home over the weekend. It was good to see friends and family. I spent a couple of hours on Saturday putting a puzzle together with my Grandpa and chatting with my Grandma. It was perhaps my most well-spent two hours this month. From Detroit, I always feel like I couldn't spend enough time with them. They've been married for 65 years and won't be around much longer. I really appreciate my Grandparents.

I also had the opportunity to play with my neice and nephew for a little while. It was good.

As the week goes on, I always get more and more tired. I always take my iPod to work on Fridays, and Fridays do usually move quickly. So tonight, I planned to do work, but decided to update my Blog. It had been too long and too infrequent for the beginning of what is promised to be an interesting year.

A Few Things & Events I Look Forward to in 2008

• Margot & the Nuclear so and sos -- concert in April and CD sometime this year, perhaps another show when they tour
• Sweet 16 Basketball --we might just be watching the Hoosiers win that trip to the Final Four live
• Vacation -- Rogers and I are going to go somewhere and it is going to rock! Last year was Chicago and it was a blast.
• Chinese Food -- 2007 was probably my best year for Chinese Food and I want to keep it rolling in 2008
• Dave Matthews Band -- Two nights this year, right? Two days of contact high -- uh oh.
• 25 -- By 2020, I'll be nearing 40. Anybody think 1997 and Third Eye Blind and Matchbox Twenty being new doesn't seem like too long ago?
• Indiana Jones -- I saw the trailer. Old Harry Ford still has it.

And there's a lot more where that came from folks.

*Upon re-reading, I decided it might be best to point out that the "BANG" was a reference to our hit-and-run car accident.
