Ready for Christmas break, and New Years
I'm just about ready to head out and visit my folks for Christmas. I've got my shopping handled (got to love on-line shopping and shipping! It makes the task so simple!), and will be flying to Spokane this coming Thursday. Temperatures are running to the low single digits according to dad, and maybe reaching to just below freezing for highs. I'm looking forward to seeing my new house at the lake since the last time I saw it this summer, it was still being built.
The past week saw my 9-Ball team not playing; we showed up, but the other team didn't; so a full match forfeit, and a few hours of practice ensued. My project at work is slowly making some progress... little by little I'm getting some of the system to work, at a low level. I don't know how much farther I'll get in the next few days; hopefully enough to get something working.
Dad told me that the local VFW post in my home town is having a New Year's party on the 31st... and since I'll be in the area; I'm planning on going. I am looking forward to this party.

Updating the Web and the Week In (Quick) Review
I finally published sites I've been working on to "live" status.
The website for my brother-in-law's business; Drew Marine, in Spokane, Washington; is now live at www.drewmarine.com. I had done a version of the site using lighter colors, like a white background, and different navigation. But, Drew likes the color scheme we had before with a black background and purple color scheme. So... I re-did the new site with that color scheme in mind, but more modern than what I had before. I'm very happy with the result!
Another site I've been working on for some time was my friend, Mark McQuade's site; McQuade Contracting. It's finally live now and on-line.
I also added another new page to my site containing links to some sites I really enjoy. I'll keep adding to it as I think of other sites I really enjoy visiting.
Work is going a bit better as I'm finally starting to make some level of progress on the new project I'm on; not as much as I'd like, but at this point, I'll take anything. My 9-Ball team had this week off (a bye), but my 8-Ball team played Wednesday. We had enough players so as to not forfeit any matches. I played about as well as I could, but was not able to win (again). It's a bit frustrating knowing that I've got a great team, but we're not able to be competitive. Oh well...
