Long Time No Blog . . .

This blogging thing is hard to keep up with on a regular basis. It takes a lot more work than I thought.

It's been a while since we blogged anything but here's whats been going on in Idaho.

Planning for the 2009 World Games is going slow. We suffered a major setback this week when President Bush vetoed a bill that had $8 million dollars in funding for us. It was the lead story on KTVB the local NBC affiliates news last night. You can watch the story here.

That said we are still moving forward. Joanie's old co-worker Ian is joining me in the IT dept on November 26. We'll now have two Terps to counter the Idaho Vandals & BSU Broncos on staff.

Tuesday night at 6pm we decided to go to the BSU vs Washington State basketball game. Tickets were $12 and available at the door. Washington State is ranked #6 and was clearly better than BSU but would get blown out in an ACC game.

Not much else to report. We are heading back to Maryland on Saturday for 6 days. It will be interesting to see sprawl and tons of people again. Since April, I've only left Idaho 3 times, twice to Oregon and once to San Francisco. Snow is falling in the mountains north of here, Tamarack and Sun Valley are scheduled to open over Thanksgiving. I hope to sneak up to one of them the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Hope to see you after Thanksgiving at some point. Good to know all is going OK (if not great). I'm sure it will be somewhat of a culture shock to come back here after all that open space. The photos have been beautiful.
