More Updates

You can see over on the right there are some new pictures in my Flickr gallery, too. Sara’s parents were in town for a week while I was in Nashville at NRB.

We’re on concert patrol this month. We hosted a Gungor and Seabird concert while in Nashville on Feb 27. This past Saturday Alex and his grandparents went to a Randall Goodgame Slugs’n'Bugs kids concert. This past Sunday night was an Andrew Peterson, Andy Gullahorn, Ben Shive concert. Both were at our church. Randall Goodgame is playing for my office on Tuesday. Sheryl and I are going to the Bon Jovi concert on Wednesday, but mainly to see the opening act, which is the drummer for our church, Kyle and his band, the West Side Winders. They won a battle of the bands competition and beat our 20 other bands to get to open for Bon Jovi. I’m real excited to see that.

It’s also now official that we’re part-owners of Cubs season tickets. My co-worker, Dave’s brother Ryan had his number get called (only took him 3 years). So we’re splitting it. The plan is to sell 90% of the games (yes, we have tickets to all 81 games). Dave and Ryan have been buying and selling tickets for nearly 10 years. They’re very confident we’ll make a profit. I think in the end I’ll end up with 6 games to go to – mostly afternoon or evening games that would be hard to sell anyway. Pirates in April anyone?

The seats are mediocre – deep in the right field corner, 20o level. But we’re in as season ticket holders and figure every year we’ll be offered a little bit better of an option. And of course, if the Cubs ever do go to the World Series, well then we’ll sell those and have Alex’s college tuition all saved for.

That’s pretty much it for now. I’m swamped right now. I have 11 open freelance projects right now. Some new clients, some existing, but way more work than I should be doing at one time. I should probably get back to some of them now.
