There are two things that give me more pride than anything else…  And one of them will be celebrating his 2nd birthday on Saturday.

In reaching back two years for a post, this is the one that jumped out…  I loved the first thing he had to say after being born.

Last week he got his big present… a “Big Boy Bed”.  He doesn’t seem to be sure what to think of that whole thing…  He likes it, but isn’t so sure that sleeping in it is cool.

And he isn’t shy about letting his feeling be known.  But I can’t imagine being more proud.  My boys are both amazing people.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

I am a hockey fan, and as I write this, about 10 minutes of the 1st period in the Gold Medal round game has elapsed…  USA v Canada.  It looks like it will be a very exciting game.

I have been digging around out of curiousity, and came across the budget for Gwinnett County Public Schools.  GCPS spends $8,156/student.  Their total budget proposed for FY2010 is $1.859Billion…  That is a lot of coin.

Just a couple of notes.

I am ramping up a couple of sideline sites.  The first is Delicious.  I have been using it for a while now, but lately I have been using it more frequently.  I’m probably adding two or three links a day as I surf around.  The subjects are pretty varied, from real estate to technology and cars.

The other site that I have recently ramped up is Tumblr.  It is a “mini-blogging” platform.  It is pretty cool.  Basically, I am feeding all of my posts from several blog platforms to this one aggregation point.  Every couple of days I go in an add a snippet to go with the headlines.  I’ll try to be on this a little quicker, but… at least you can see what I am writing about…

If you are wondering what is in my head, those two sites will cover it pretty well.

I am not going to print them here, but they are fantastic guidelines for success.  In fact, I printed out the post and gave it to the kids in the class I am heading up for Junior Achievement.

Here is a link to the original post from Seth Godin.
