Yes, I'm still around. the new job has me busy, busy. I like it, but wow, what a change of pace from the old job. I am constantly in meetings and battling budget stuff almost every day. It sucks (especially in this economy) when your country doesn't want to support your space program. Hopefully things will turn around and the country will be inspired again to go do really cool space stuff.

I'm also working hard on my glass. I have given myself a deadline of late April to get my Et.sy shop up and running. The kilns are going around the clock and some pretty cools things are coming out. I have a kiln full of fun stuff right now. Check out the beginnings (very beginning) of my website: , with the help of Jodie it will be one rockin' site soon!
This weekend we had a series of NASTY storms. Jodie and I were texting each other about how bad things were getting and she said her street was flooding. I thought I'd go check out the front of my yard. This is what I saw...

Yes, I was freaking out! I have never seen water this close to any front door I've ever had. Makes you wonder what it was like during Ike.

During the Storm
After the storm, water recedes quickly here!

My neighbor's work car--yeah, I think they should have moved it before the rain started!

I will try to keep up with my blog more often. I do miss writing, so you'll be hearing from me more often. Hugs to all...
