Reporting from the third floor

It is 2007 and it often happens to me not only did we start a new year but I am a year older... usually a year older doesnt mean much but jumping into the third floor is another story... all of a sudden I have been in the world for three decades and I only have 15 years to achive my retirement at 45.... I have to keep working on my million dollar idea now in overdrive so that I can creat something that I can sell to google a coouple of year from now... in any case, here we are after 3 weeks of great vacationin Venezuela witfamily I had not seen in 3 years... it was a great and I am refueled and ready to go for another greuling 35 days....
 
Happy New Year to all of you avid readers (all 3 of you!)
 
 
 
November 11

30 days to go

 
And just like that November came along and we are one month from taking a plane home!  A home I have not visited in 3 years and that we are all so eager to see... also Kike is like the hotest comodity in Christtmas after "Tickle me Elmo "  I tell you a week laying in a hammock on the coast would not be that bad these days so I am very much looking forward to it....
 
Well... gota go to our baby swiming class....
 
 
Catch you later!

One month.. two months...a year

And here I am again .3 months later as it seems to be my latest patern.... writing for the world (that as far as comments to my last blog seem to be composed of 2!) but 2 is better than nothing and both of you readers mean a whole lot to me so I am trying to keep up with the moves.
 
Tomorrow is my son's first birthday and it is unbelieveblae what we have gone thorugh in the past 12 months....change countries... get a son, be ought out get a new job and survive through it all its a pretty interesting year... he is now crawling allver the house and thinking about walking but a bit lazy to really give it a shot .... i hope wherever you are you get a chance tohave a drink on his name as I will today do in a couple of ocassions at least.
 
Cheers

White Hot Summer

I cant believe it has been more than 3 months since I had anytime to write and update my faithfull readers (all 3 of you!)
But here I am back in the writing desk with a little bit of time and inspiration, some of it coming from the incredible victory of the Miami Heat! team that I follwoed thorugh all their struggles and was ecstatic to see win last night!  It was really something else...
On the other aspects of life things seem to be settling down as travel has settled a bit..
 
Summer (and huricane season are here) and I tell you, there is nothing like finishing a hard day at work and splashing in the pol on a hot sumer afternoon with stil plenty of sun to relax and enjoy a little florida... All the sacrifices aside I think I can safely say today that things are well...
 
If you are reading this drop me a note.. I want to know if there is anybody actualy reading..

2006 Roller Coaster

They say bein a part of a merger is a rough time.... try being part of the integration team!
This  is about the first time this month that I am able to look at a computer screen that is not job related so here is an update...
things are going rather quickly here the month is not over and I have already touched base in Chile and Peru, these times without the chance to realy take on my blog... today its Baby saturday I get Saturday morning babysiitng post when i am in town which is actually a very nice time of the week... Kike gows by leaps and bounds every day and eery day is much more fun as we can now play wth some sense...
 
 

March Already

I know I have more or less abandonde my writing but i guess a Kid and heavy traveling are really more than I can handle and write at teh same time.. today I have 5 min of morning nap from the baby s I have put up a couple of pictures of their latest trip to Colombia....
 
All the best to all you that may read this....

2005 - Reflections on the year end

I couldnt let 2005 go by wihouth haing a quick recap of what it has left us in this side of the world.....
 
Overstating the Obvious  this has been a great ride for our family starting by the completion of teh world with the baby´s arrival...
It has also been a year of great fundamental changes and uncertainty  we have been "about to mo move" to several diferent places in teh globe and finally got to move on from Mexico into new pastures in a much more quiet environment..
 
Right after the move the company changes hands and so thus my job so I am faced with a whole new set of challenges and a whole new world of opportunities.... being settled down has done wonders for m stress levels up to some point so I guess just to keep it up this whole new company has came to the rescue.....
 
2006 to mee looks like a plane cabin anexecutive platinum recognition on my miles (some goals to start the year)  I have come to the conclusion that life at 30000 feet is not that bad after all except fo course you spend 9 hours between 2 other fully grown felows stuck in an overbooked plane..... but that is more the exception than the rule.. or so I hope.
 
In any case I whish all of you avid readers of my blig (I guess you amount to a total of 5)  but a writer should never loose the faith.. so I whish ALL OF YOU  a very good 2006,  may the new year bring you health, happiness and lots of exciting moments to share with your grandkids.
 
Peace!
