Adult responsibility...

It's been a busy week and a bit. In no particular order...

Signed mortgage papers on Friday. What's several hundred thousand dollars between friends. Almost over all the hurdles around owning a house. Mortgage, line of credit, life insurance, house insurances, chocolate for reaassurance :-).

Spent Saturday moving two trailerloads of soil from my parents to the new house and piling it in the back yard. Sunshine, shovelling and compost. Set the baby in her car seat in the yard to watch us work. Talking with wife and dad and very friendly neighbors about trees to remove, stumps to dig out, ivy to strip, shovelling to be done, ramps to be built...and then there are the water features. Man does dad love those water features.

Submitted a proposal to company for a website redevelopment on thursday. First major potential commercial job. Work with a graphic designer and I'll handle all the coding etc. Thinking I should have put more time into the proposal for project management. Plan to get my own domain name, upload an open source content management system I found and build a business model on top of it. Felt good to make that first step. Also found a cold fusion based open source content management system. Could build business model on it for web design company.

Saturday put in application for teaching job in the urban studies diploma at harbour center. urban development, policy and planning... would be great... find out in june about that

ultimate is going well - we're .500 and the team is playing well together. Good mix of people.

baby is lots of fun. 2 teeth, slightly flat head :-) very joyful

life keeps moving along :-)
