A puppy's life is real tough. It reminds me a lot like my grandfather's life…20 minutes of activity, then sleep for 40 minutes…repeat. Every other cycle take a potty break. Every 6th cycle stop to eat.

Denise and I called 2010 the Year of Adventure. We traveled A LOT. I believe we were traveled places that required flying 6 times and took many weekend road trips. In the upcoming weeks I'll post photos recapping 2010 because 2011 is the Year of Passion. This means Denise and I are going to focus more on our passions (such as hiking and photography) and less on the other "stuff". Let the good times roll!

Grandpa's stuff is not the only things we have been digging through. Just tonight I discovered some of my old Mac diskettes.

Frozen creek on Heritage Farm; 95 acres of woods that my parents own near their home.

My dad designed and built this house...mostly from memory since his plans were lost early in the building process. While he didn't pour the foundation he did pretty much everything else. We moved into the house in 1984; I guess that makes the house 26 years old...wow!

Took this photo with my iPhone just before leaving for the airport last week. Been quite rough since then dealing with the death of my grandfather and working mega hours due to a big release. Looking forward to some quiet time to reflect.

Fantastic views of vineyards
