I have many diverse interests, and I have decided to talk about a few of them today.
My first interest is politics, and my comment today is about the national political scene. I am watching the antics of the incoming Obama administration with a great deal of trepidation. I was OK with him keeping Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, but since then his nominees have gone downhill rapidly. The latest travesty is Leon Panetta, the former Clinton White House chief of staff. Obama stated that Panetta had experience with the intelligence community as chief of staff. Panetta has experience reading reports as a bureaucrat, not actually carrying out intelligence policy.
I am also trying to find backing tracks to "King of Glory" by Third Day. They don't seem to be available anywhere. I'm sniffing around to find software so that I can create the accompaniment track myself.
Work is cool: I'll be starting C# class after lunch.

The New Year
A lot has happen since I last applied digits to keyboard here.
I finished up school December 12th, then moved to Pendleton, OR to be with Peggy and start my new job at Cayuse Technologies as a Junior Software Engineer. Peggy and her kids have been great, and we are growing together as well as can be expected.
My job at Cayuse is very challenging yet enjoyable. I'm learning a lot about the software business and am doing a great deal of database work.
I am in the process of joining First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and jumped right in as far as getting involved. I start co-teaching a class on Christian Maturity Sunday, Jan.18. In addition, I chaperoned the youth group's New Year's Eve party, and will be taking roles in the service soon. This coming Sunday I'll be reading the Scripture verse and on the 18th I'll be singing special music; the song I've chosen is "King of Glory" by Third Day. The Pastor, Marc Mullins, is a great guy and a good pastor who isn't afraid of me (that's been a problem in the past for me). As a group, the elders are great, the best I've ever been around.
I don't want to take to long here, so I'll keep my posts shorter in future.
