A New Home
You may or may not have noticed a new look... If you haven't, go ahead and notice now. I can wait... ... ... Done? Ok... My Hagood.net web site was starting to get a bit stale and my hosting provider was really not very good. With those two factors in mind I decided to move things over to GoDaddy and do a little redesign at the same time. But as with many things lately, I just don't have the time to finish things quickly. Instead of waiting to get all my content moved, I just decided to flip the switch and make most of the links give you an annoying "Nne ot doyet!" message. Want to see it? Click here.
So over time I will slowly get more and more content moved over, but for now... at least you can see my latest blog entry. Feel free to comment. You know my email address.

By popular demand...
By popular demand, and to get my Mom off my back... it is time for another blog post. I won't beat the dead horse of explaining how busy I am and why I haven't updated... That's just how it is and I will eventually figure out the part of my day that is ripe for me to do some blogging.
2009 seems to be humming right along faster than any year prior. Although, it seems like that every year I guess. We are just a little over a month from our trip to Poland for our second wedding. Given how much effort we had to put into planning the first one, and how hands off we are on this second one; It doesn't feel real yet. Maybe when I go to reserve my tux this weekend that will help make things feel a little more real. Don't get me wrong. We are super excited... it is just hard to believe that in a month and 8 days we will be standing in a Cathedral built in the 1300's before god, friends, and family getting married again.
This week my office switched over to the 4/10 (10 hours a day Mon-Thurs) work schedule. Getting here at seven was no change for me, but having soooo many people here in the morning has been an adjustment. The message I am trying to politely get across is "Just because I am here and working at 7am, doesn't mean it is ok to call me. Until I have had time to drink a cup of coffee and check my email... I am unavailable." A couple of curt phone calls seems to be getting the point across. I don't love staying until 6... but I am sure it will seem like less of an inconvenience come Friday when I am playing golf instead of writing code.
Monika just found out yesterday that she passed her Thermodynamics class with a B+! I know this is a really tough class and many many people have to take it multiple times. I couldn't be more proud of Monika for getting such a good grade on her first time taking the class! Way to go honey!
The big life changing even for our family is that Monika began playing golf! She is doing so well that it won't be that long before she posts a score lower than mine. That day will be a hard one for me, but I will find a way to muddle through I am sure. I had asked Monika to play golf with me for quite some time, but schedules never worked out and I got the impression she wasn't that interested. With our hectic lives during the week and weekends only being two days, I never liked leaving Monika at home for the 4+ hours it took to play a round of golf. So I had started to play a little less often. Then one day Monika announced she would be joining me at the driving range. From the first swing of the club when she sent that little golf ball flying through the air... she was hooked. Since then she is always up for a round when we can find the time. I have played golf more in the last three weeks than I think I played all last year. Color me a happy husband!
Other stuff:
- Yesterday our pool table finally made the move from the old house to the new house. I missed having it.
- Buffy is loving her trips to the dog park. Monika and I take here twice a day and she (Buffy) goes nuts the second she hears here leash... because she knows where she is headed.
- Congrats to my friend Brett who tied the knot over the weekend. I really wish we could have made it to the wedding.
- The average temp here in Vegas is now over 100 every day. I look forward to getting over to Poland in August where it should be much much cooler.
- ... in the strangest places... Last night at the dog park Monika and I met a Polish couple that happens to live near us. It was very funny when Monika just heard this lady calling her dog in Polish.
- Life is good
