  • Job interview update

    On Tuesday, October 6, 2009, we traveled to Lexington, KY for a couple of job interviews, including one for Bankers Life and Casualty Company. Just a week before, 24 hours after posting my resume to CareerBuilder.com, I was contacted by someone from Bankers saying they had reviewed my resume, were very impressed and invited me…

  • Latest updates: Job and home

    This month has been a rather eventful month, to say the least. Having said that, the last five or six days (Saturday, 26 September – Wednesday, 30 September) have made up the bulk of said “events.”

  • Lilyana and the Emergency Room

    Okay, before anybody gets too worked, let me explain the title a little.  For the past three days, Lily has been running a fever. However, she had maintained a steady temperature of around 101° F (38° C). At about 6pm last night, after waking from an afternoon nap, we took her temperature and discovered that…

  • From the mouths of babes

    It’s funny that we often laugh at the things children say. We laugh because a lot of the time, the things children say are either way out of context or are just plain hilarious. Listening to a child explain the wonders of Christmas to us, or even having them explaining the meaning of life can…

  • And the world keeps rolling on…

    Well, much has happened in the last month. I have completed my 4 – 6 week contract with Frontier Nursing Services (FNS) and have just been offered another 250 hours of work. That is going to keep the coffers well stocked for the next couple of months, at least. On top of that, a friend…

  • Reflections of myself

    I’ve blogged on here a number of times about some of my experiences here in the US. Some good. Some bad. Some neither here nor there. Just yesterday, I was sitting at lunch with a friend and he asked me something that I’ve never really stopped to consider before.  He said something to the effect…

  • Updates from Hazard, KY

    It’s been quite some time since my last post, but much has happened in that time. By far the biggest news is Lilyana is now a year old and walking around, making life a whole lot more difficult for Jennifer and I. Unfortunately, she has inherited our penchant for wanting to examine everything we come…

  • Employment update

    Over the last month or so, work has been pretty good for me. I’ve managed to get through a couple of reasonable projects, one is about to wrap up and I’m currently working on an ASP.NET based Facebook application, which is new to me. Admittedly, the application isn’t really a stretch because I’m pretty much…
