When you see this many posts on my blog, that means I’m procrastinating. I have a huge project due tonight at midnight and I’m avoiding doing it. Its a database design project. The design is done, but the report that I have to submit is not. I would rather watch paint dry.
For the next six days, I’ll be blogging (or not) from Boulder Colorado. I’m a speaker at the CALI (Computer Aided Legal Instruction) conference. Its pretty much a conference for folks who do technology work at law schools. This is my third time going. In 2007 it was in Las Vegas and last year it was in Baltimore. We usually work it out so that I can take the family with me. My hotel and flight are covered so we just buy tickets for Kimberlie and the kids and end up with a great deal on a cross-country vacation.
In Vegas, we added 4 extra nights to the 4 that the law school covers and we explored sin city along with Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast (keep in mind Mackenzie was less than a year old then). Last year we added 2 nights and I took the family on a quick tour of Washington D.C. This year we only added one night because there’s not too much exciting about Colorado when the slopes are closed. I do hope to visit Jon-Benet’s former home as well as Columbine High School — and of course the usual wonders like the Rocky Mountains.
About three weeks ago, I went to Academy Sports and purchased an Intex Easy-Set Pool. I’ve always hated these things. If you ride through a trailer park, you’ll see these things everywhere. But we don’t invest in an in-ground pool at this house, because we only plan to be here for a few more years, and I think the regular above ground pools are even worse.
We had to get something because I’m about to drop a good bit of money for the kids to take swimming lessons. Tristan took lessons last year, but forgot a good bit because he didn’t have anywhere to practice.
I am certainly getting some practice on maintaining proper pool chemistry. I guess it will come in handy when we do have an in-ground pool. For now, we will enjoy our white-trash pool.
