Sheesh, months have gone by since the last post. In the meantime, I’ve got a Firefox bookmarks folder full of things I wanted to post, comment on, ideas to toss out, etc.

It has, however, been a very busy few months.

• I hadn’t mentioned it on the blog before, but my wife is pregnant. She’s due July 1, but we learned yesterday that the baby is in a breach position (feet down) and shows no signs of turning… so we’re scheduling a c-section this week rather than risk breach delivery. We know we’re having a girl (the ultrasound tech guarantees it) and Allie, our 5–year old, couldn’t be more excited about being a big sister.
• Got through the spring youth soccer season, coaching two teams — Allie’s U-5 team (“herding” more than “coaching”) and the U-14 boys team I’ve coached for years. They’re now aged out of our local soccer program, but many will be playing in high school.
• Got a spare bedroom cleared out, painted, decorated, and mostly furnished as a nursery.
• Busy as can be at work, which is a great thing. I also moved up to a new role (VP, Engineering) to add to my duties as the lead architect.
• The MLS soccer season is underway, though this is more a source of frustration than anything else these days.
• Got a couple of side development projects underway (call ‘em personal R&D), stuff around the house, etc.

Anyway, there ya have it… I’m hoping to get through some of those “blog this” bookmarks this weekend before the fun starts next week.
