So much for being better at updating, I guess. About every 2 weeks or so is just about all I can manage. At least nothing much has been going on for a while, so I can probably recall most of that time. I went to Phoenix on a bidness trip last week, which was really productive I thought. The machine we looked at is pricey but very cool, and may be just what we've been looking for. So I may get to spend $110k-130k of company money soon. We'll see. Mom and dad were in town (which reminds me, it's his birthday. I'll have to send an e-card and e-present.) and I got to see them for a while. I highly recommend Gordon Biersch in Tempe for dinner if you go there. No progress on selling either house or condo, no progress on getting a baby. Beth's doctor appointment is in a couple days; we'll see what he says. Good news: the plumbing problem at the house was such a non-issue that there was no damage to the walls and the bill was only $82, most of which was just for the plumber's visit. Something just needed tightening, apparently. We've seen some movies lately: Jurassic Park 3 (ok...more of the same), America's Sweethearts (ok...chick flick), Cats & Dogs (ok...Goldblum phoned in his role), Planet of the Apes (pretty good).
