Obligatory Update
Just wow.
I suck as a blogger. To my defense there has been so much that has happened since my last post. Where to start.
Asher Dane Odell was born on the 10th of April. He was 21" long and 8lbs and 12oz at birth. He is doing great and has started to sleep all night long. At least he has for the last couple of nights. Pics can been seen here.
Gage and Nat finished the school year and both had a birthday. Gage rolled up on five and Nat is pushing single digits at nine. The "G" is doing better in T-Ball then he did in soccer. He HATED soccer, so I guess that the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree there. Nat is Gages biggest cheerleader and her one member dance squad is something to see.
After Asher was born we have been blessed to welcome two additional members to our family. Lana and Billy have a new little boy named Liam Dean. He is such a cute baby and Lana and Billy are excellent parents. Finally, I can call myself and Uncle! Madison and Amy added the third boy to our family in the short five week span. Brycen McClain Odell was born on the 17th of May. He has a TON of hair and is long and skinny. We were able to make a trip to CO last week and got to see the little guy. So both Asher and Brycen were able to hang out for a few hours!
Robyn has made a decision to postpone her dog showing until after the kids get older. This is probably a good decision, because of all the logistics involved with three kids, work, and all of my crap that I have going on. So look out in eighteen or so years, because I am sure that she will be back in the game.
I have been reelected to the Board of Directors of Kiowa District Hospital for another three year term. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Depends on who you ask and what is important to them. I truly believe that it is for the best. Time will tell of course, but I am committed to seeing this "thing" through. I am still on the KTIA Board of Directors and our annual meeting is coming up in June. I am up for reelection on that Board too. I hope that I get the nod for that organization too. It is an excellent networking tool for my carrer.
Speaking of carrer, things are prety good at work. We have finalized two very important projects over the last couple of months. ML phase II, III, and V. This was a very successful project for us and very important to me. I spent quite a bit of time tracking and being involved in the project. Next was our first tactical overbuild in Pratt. We spent a few months putting FTTH in the Pratt Airport area and from every indication, we have been successful. We are working on the next phases of our buildout and our looking towards Oklahoma to finalize our FTTH buildout in our ILEC. All of this is scheduled to get started in the last quarter of 2009.
School is good. Not great, but good. I have been working for several semsters now and have made significant progress. I have taken a little detour though. I felt it was necessary for me to educate myself in the ways of the account. So I have taken Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and will take one more accounting class in the fall. It isn't all bad, but I don't know if I could do it all day every day. I might go crazy. I still see the benefit of finish up and plan to get started on my Masters as soon as I complete my Bachelors degree. All to make myself more marketable.
Speaking of school, I had to use a facebook group for one of my classes. I must tell you that I absolutley did not want to sign up for this damn service. I did not want to drink the kool-aid and was raging against the machine on this....I did not want to be one of the sheep! Well guess what.....BAA...BAA....I did it. It is pretty decent and have been able to reconnect with several classmates and old friends.
Lastly, I must tell you that I am not pleased with the direction of our country. From my perspective, we are being led down the path of Socialism and I am not optimistic of the future. I think that O(WTF)bama is taking us down his vision for the future and I truly think that he believes it is the right way to go. I just don't share his vision of the future. I don't think Government should be shareholders in the Automotive Industry, Finance Industry, Housing Industry, or Healthcare Industry. What is next? Where will it stop? Will my sons be forced into an occupation? Will his future be decided by others? I fear not for me, but for them! Do we want truly want this? I for one do not. I want to see GM fail, I want to see Freddie Mac fail, I want to see the gigantic corporation fail. Not because I want America to suffer or for that matter the rest of the world, but becuase I think that it is important to remember that the strong survive and the weak or stupid perish. I realize that almost every industry receives some milk from the government teet, but I don't think that our government should own portions (if not the majority) of the companies.
Next, I think that giving the enemy combatants of Gitmo the rights of citizens of the United States of America is absurd. Why would we mirandize these shitbirds? Holy crap, I can't believe I have to get angry about this shit! Why give them a trial in the US. Military Tribunal and let the pieces fall where they will. We could do what those shitbirds would do if they captured one of our GI's. But we are a kinder gentler nation aren't we?
Finally, good job O(WTF)bama. Iran should be allowed to pursue Nuclear Power. Providing of course they allow inspectors in and provide all information about the nuclear program. Yeah right, like we haven't seen faked documents, feet dragging, and other attempts at misdirection from those douch nozzles. I really can't get on board with the actions of O(WTF)bama. I hope that his first four years is his last four years at the helm of this Once and Future great nation. Oh, and we are a great nation, not a good nation, not an equal nation, but a GREAT nation.
I will leave you with this....I feel like this is important. It doesn't touch on what I am really trying to get across, but I like it.
