We are still waiting for a 'yes' or a 'no' from our buyers. They are keeping in contact with us, but aren't able to rule it out, but aren't able to write a contract yet. So, in the mean time, we raised the price of our house. Maybe that will get different...

Friday, we drove to Denver to run errands and get our iPhones. We were successful! It took about 3+ hours total of waiting in lines and getting it set up and paid for. We had quite a few glitches, but we are set. I went shopping with the girls for my...

Thursday, our homeschool group gathered north of Silverthorne for a beautiful hike through the wildflowers around a lake and to a waterfall. This is a wonderful hike, but the mosquitos were so bad this year, that we all got many, many bites. We also learned...

Fourth of July in Breckenridge is a big tourist time. Our little 3500 person town bursts its seams with people gathering for family reunions and others just on vacation. It's a fun time to be here, although there is quite a bit more traffic. We took the bus...

Friday just as I was packing up to leave the great state of NJ I noticed this post from Scott. I thought perfect, that is the kind of developer I want to be. The person that thinks always about experience. Not just of my users (but of course, them first) but...
