Quote of the Day
"Imagine a donut, fired from a cannon at the speed of light while rotating. Time is like that, except without the cannon and the donut."
- Cervantes
"You know how it is when you lean back too far in your chair and almost fall backwards, but save yourself at the last second? I feel like that all day."
- Stephen Wright
"You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life."
- Emo Philips

Mini Christmas Shopping
My Dad's birthday is Thursday, and my nephew Callum, Rick's oldest boy, birthday is Wednesday. Rick's fortieth birthday is a week from Friday. This is about half the shopping I do for Christmas, so it felt very much like the holidays (not the President's Day holidays, the Christmas holidays). I followed my Christmas shopping routine, I went to the Galleria first, and walked the whole mall to get ideas. Callum's was easy, I found something for him in the first couple of stores. I bought myself a new wallet and was shopping for tennis shoes before I knuckled down and got to business. I had to go from the Galleria downtown to find something for my Dad, then back to the River Oaks area to find something for my brother.
My friend Brian Camfield will be in town this weekend, and we're getting together on Sunday. It will be fun seeing him (here's a picture of Brian) now that he's been married for a couple of years.

Dereliction of Duty
Alright, alright, I know that I've been negligent in posting.
I've been working on the new front page, but that's no excuse. So, what have I been doing? Well.
January
Wk1 - I taught a NACE Internal Corrosion for Pipeline course in Houston
Wk2 - I flew to Houma, LA to meet with my counterparts to develop the agenda for our annual technician meeting. This meeting is a week-long training session and roundtable that about 100 corrosion technicians attend, from Texas and Louisiana. All the material for the meeting is new every year. It's a lot of work to put together. Here's a picture from a couple of years ago:
Wk3 - I flew to Colorado Springs to give a presentation at the NACE Rocky Mountain Corrosion Short Course. Then I squeezed in a weekend of skiing in Winter Park.
Wk4 - Left Colorado and flew to Las Vegas for the SSPC conference. The conference wrapped up on Wednesday, I flew home and flew out Thursday AM for ski trip in Sun Valley, Idaho. Just enough time to dump the dirty laundry out my suitcase and throw some clean clothes in.
February
Wk1 - Went to the office for the first time in two weeks. I literally had one day in the office in January.
Wk2 - I chaired the NACE Pipeline Integrity Management and Coatings Seminar in Houston. I gave some opening remarks, introduced the presenters and read their biographies, and managed the questions after the presentations.
What next? I'm in the office for the next two weeks, trying to get caught up. The tech meetings are scheduled for the first couple of weeks in March, so we're scrambling to get everything done in time.
