060622 - Up slow day trying to piece everthing together from the visit and going forward. We all took Howdy to Karate, after his melt down, and he had a good time, imagine that! then we ran to Home Depot, Arby's and Blockbuster. Home played with the boys then took them up and read books and lights out. Watched 'BloodRayne' pretty cool movie. Mom and Dad W called and it seems they have been hit by a mini tornado. Parts of the barn roof were ripped off and many trees down. Talked to dad alot about it and want to go up and help but he is not to excited to kill himself cleaning up. Pretty frustrated wiht his job, tried to give him some pointers that I have found to work in this thing called the business world.
060621 - Last day of meetings in Denver, just reviewing the last several days of work for sign off. To the airport trying to catch early flight to make it home for Howdy's game, but as usual I got to ORD and trouble struck. I did not make the game but did get home 2 hours early and was able to put the boys to bed and read them a book.
060620 - Up for another fun filled day of workshops. I quickly went through the documents and wrote a formula for a file format. I shared that formula with the lead consultant for DTV and told him by the end of the day I would have him there. As the day went on I inserted comments and asked questions as we reviewed the 12 file interfaces they wanted us to build. By then end of the day I had suggested them into a file format that would replace all 12 of their interfaces with 1! The DTV consultant reviewed what I had written down 6 hours earlier and was amazed that it was the exact file format I had written... I saved DTV $10M today. Out to eat with Brent, Bev and Sherry.
060619 - Up @ 5:30 in the air to Denver fot a quick 3 days with DirecTV. Got to Denver, met up with Sherry from Little Rock and went into the meetings with DTV. Short but very tiring day. Had a fantastic dinner and discussed religion.
