  • So, I don't really write much here anymore.  I'm more into facebook and myspace but I still get emails on updates everyone else does and I comment when I feel like it.  But I decided to write a little something something.  So um, I don't know I guess.  Vacation is drawing to a close.  About time to go back to work.  Exchanging daily boredom for mind-numbing work.  It's not going to be the same without some people but it's like that every contract.  So the plan is for now to do at least one more year of the cruise ship thing.  One more contract on the American ships, then try the international side of the company and see if I like it.  If I do, then maybe a couple of more years.  If not, then I'm done with NCL and I'll come back to Grand Rapids (or New York or New Orleans) and start living a normal life.

  • Wow.  Long time no write.  I still read everyone I'm subscribed to... just don't comment that much.  It amazes me how some of you can write such long detailed entries so often!  Well, I'm not much of a writer anymore anyway.  You're much more apt to find me on myspace or facebook.  Just thought I'd say hi here though.  Not much is going on.  About two weeks left of my vacation.  I'm going to do a fourth contract just for the hell of it.  That way I can say I worked for the company for TWO WHOLE YEARS.  Yikes.  It's silly but I miss the ship and most everyone on it.  Even though I'm miserable and a lot of things about it piss me off, I like where I work.  So yeah, it's final: one more contract.  Then we'll see.

    Being at home is boring.  We're potty training Michael.  It's not going well.  He'll run around the house in his cute little Diego/Thomas the Cho-Cho/Scooby Doo/Dora the Explorer underwear.  We'll ask him every five minutes, "Mike, ya gotta use the potty yet?"  He'll say no.  Then a minute later he'll wet the underwear.  lol  It's cute.  I like taking him to the various playground parks in the neighborhood.  The snow is still too deep and it sucks trudging through it to get to the slides and swings but it's fun.  My  new car is great.  LOVE IT.  Mom and dad are actually getting some of their plans for the house done.  The upstairs bathroom is almost complete.  Took them about two years... I think the kitchen and hallway are next.  lol 

    Call me if you want to hang out over spring break, anyone.  I'd love to see you all.  616-802-0704
