There is some good country...

Okay, so I do not like country. But as I'm sitting at the Birchmere last night watching in awe as this girl belts it out...I'm thinking, this girl's aight. The first few songs I heard from her, I was pretty much in denial that she was country. But she busted out some yodeling last night, which pretty much sealed the deal. But I don't care, I loved it...I actually thought it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to (yea, she's right up there with The Wiggles).


I highly recommend:

My little giant...


My favorite part of the game today was when the team was in outfield and the coach kept repeating to everyone to keep their eye on the ball...and one little kid yells back "we are keeping an eye on the ball". Ah, had to be there....

Another job move...

After much internal debating...I've decided to take a position at another company.

Overall, I'm really happy and excited about the move. It's a good chance to hone my front end skills. I'll also be doing web development at this new place. It's a marketing agency so it's exciting to go to a company that specializes in branding and design (going back to my roots!). The down side to this whole deal is leaving my current company. Giving my notice was tough. I guess since we've dwindled down to a seven person company, I feel bad leaving those guys. But, hopefully, they understand...

Well, stay tuned...first day is April 30th!

SNP and the near Old Rag epic...

How about I begin at SNP? I snatched up an extra $5. :-) I'm now 3rd to last on the Google spreadsheet. I can't really say it's a satisfying win as I basically took the money from a not-so-sober person. Not that she probably will remember any of it...

So, today me and a buddy went to Old Rag Mountain. Good times, good times... The intention was to go scout the place out for climbing and possibly climb something while doing so. Well, buddy had his eye on a certain rock wall...a certain wall that was only accessible following a "faint path". Finding a faint path in normal weather, fairly easy. Finding said path in snow, good luck. So, we're bushwhacking along in what we think may be the path and we come to a point where I've about lost hope. So, I bid my friend luck on his quest in finding his holy wall and head back to the main trail. After battling the branches and thorny bushes...I finally get back to the trail (pretty much completely snow covered and branches sticking outta my hair...I looked hot). ;-) So, anyways...all went well up to the summit (see below...quite lovely) and met up with buddy on the way back down. He never did find his wall.

OC recap...

Took the little guy to the beach this weekend. We're headed back tomorrow... :-( Not quite beach weather, but nonetheless, Tyler still got in the water and half froze himself! Yea, people were walking by in their sweaters amazed at this little guy frolicking in the water like it was 100 degrees out. :-O Got a little fishing in yesterday (nothin' biting) and had a little crab feast afterwards. Oh, and how could I forget...had the best doughnut EVER!! Fractured Prune...if you're ever in Ocean City, you must have a doughnut here. (Just maybe set aside 5 hours later to exercise it off...)

Good sunset today...
