<Previous post in this adventure.> <Next post in this adventure.> WOW! Johnson Creek is a SERIOUSLY beautiful place! I am excited to be here. The flight up was spectacular and uneventful. We made a tour of several strips this morning and, again, WOW, the area and strips here in the Idaho backcountry are something else. I… [Read More]

Johnson Creek Trip 2
Does packing for a trip ever end? How about for a camping trip? I suspect that it does not. Rather, one just runs out of time. 🙂 That’s generally how software development works too. The code is never done – you’re just out of time/budget. Well, I’m not out of time yet but will be… [Read More]

Battleship
Fun Movie! You have to chuckle at the similarities to the game (Battleship) – pay CLOSE attention!! I really enjoyed this flick. It is definitely a feel good type of show. Very enjoyable – lots of action – lots of good characters! The U.S. Navy was clearly very involved which makes for some GREAT scenes.
