Not much going on this week.  The new project has been delayed due to the ATF guy being put on Admin Leave.  They have assigned a new person to the project but he is more of a junior techie and not a manager.  We met briefly with him last week and he seems to have a lot on his plate and didn't seem real interested in taking on this new project.  Management here wants me to keep pestering him to get things going, what a pain.  I have a few other things to do but hardly enough to keep me busy every day this week.  I've even caught up on my periodicals so it will be somewhat of a boring week.
 
I occasionally think about going back for a master's but really don't want to spend the time on it.  I know several persons who have or are working on masters and they all comment about how much of their time it takes (as you can really understand).  I did look into a couple of online degree programs but in the end I really don't want to spend the time on it.  I also have not really figured out what kind of degree I would go for.  A masters in business would probably help my career the most but I would find really boring.  A technical masters would be the most interesting but not something I really need.  Actually I was talking to Julie recently and said that I wish I had gone into architecture because it would combine my artistic and engineering talents but I wasn't really aware years ago what architecture was all about.  It came up after we went and saw FLW Falling water and I got a book about FLW.  Well Julie said "why don't you go back and get an architecture degree".  Well, that is something for me to think about.
 
I know how you feel about the cabin in the remote area thing, it is something I also think about.  An internet connection would be really good to have.  Actually I keep thinking about starting some internet/web based business and running from a place in the mountains.  Someday perhaps.

I think that architecture would have been a perfect profession for me, combining my artistic talents with my love for building things. I flash back to 1973 when I met Gina who was studying architecture at the University and I imagine what might have been if I became involved with her and switched my major to architecture, how my life would have been different.
