Erica, I changed that picture you’ve been asking me to change…

Speaking of pictures, there’s a fun new picture of Erica from a certain Halloween party, now in the Erica section…

I made some internal changes you probably don’t care about. I reconfigured my counter so it only tracks hits to the main site page, and added a separate counter for the journal. I’m also changing the CB.Validate in the left column so that the links validate each page, instead of just the main page.

Erica, I miss you, honey. I hope your break is going well. I can’t wait to talk to you again…

I added all of the journal entries from the old site today.

I added a Journal entry today.
I made a few stylistic changes. Let me know what you think, if you notice any.

I almost feel old now. Friday, I enrolled in the company’s 401(k) plan. The plan is through Fidelity, and I can choose pretty much whatever funds I want to contribute to. I started out 70% high-risk / 30% low risk, and am taking full advantage of company matching (up to 3% of compensation). Based on the lifetime average annual growth of my current portfolio, not even counting in yearly salary increases, my 401(k) will be worth over 5 million in 30 years…

Over the weekend, I lost ALL of my email files (about 100 MB) and ALL of my email address book contacts (about 500). Oh, I also lost my archived backup file. So, I have to start from scratch.If you want to help, email me so I can add you back into my address book…

Saturday was four months for Erica and I. We went to dinner, and were going to go see a movie, but were both too tired…

So, the big news is, I’m working in Indy for the next 4-8 weeks… I’m working out of the PS-Indy office on a project for Lilly. They’re putting me up in an extended-stay hotel suite, paying me a per diem for food, and also paying me mileage and travel time to go home every weekend. I should make out like a bandit, and it will be great experience!

I raced in the Dave Dusick Open last weekend, at the Steffan Johannson Karting Center in Indy. It was lots of fun, and I didn’t even finish in last place… actually, I dropped 8 full seconds from my lap time from my first time on the track to my final heat race (my best lap time was 24.54, down from 32.6 seconds). Of course, the leaders running 22’s and 23’s explains my 22nd of 24 finish.

I added a picture of my neice, Morgan, in the family section.
