So I was getting a bit of grief about how I never update this blog... so my fellow blog readers (you know who you are), here is a hum-dinger of a blog post:
We just received word that a buyer has accepted our counter-offer on our house. If nothing crazy happens, that means we've just agreed to sell our house!!!
The details are as follows: our house closing is on April 30th (less than 3 weeks away!!!). We then have until May 9th to hand over the keys and move out. To where? Good question. Hopefully I will be traveling with work by then during the week. Holly has her Miami apartment, and we have a pretty full social calendar between graduations, weddings, and family events until then that will keep us on the move. Holly's lease is up on her apartment on June 30th, so we'll then officially be homeless as we head for Europe in July. When we get back, we'll get serious about actually making the final move to Maryland.
Our crazy year just keeps moving along. One more piece is falling into place, and the picture is becoming clearer and clearer!
Thanks to everyone for the positive vibes and well wishes that you've sent our way! We're very happy to have a few more answers out of this stressful part of our lives!

Thursday, January 04, 2007
You can call me Professor Holly!
After much deliberation, Jason and I would like to announce that I have accepted an Assistant Professor position at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD. I am thrilled to join the faculty at McDaniel and am looking forward to the exciting/challenging year ahead. Jason and I are both grateful to our family and friends for your support during this transition.

Front Row Basketball...
And for the last post of the year, we bring you pictures from the OSU - Coppin State game!
We took our good camera to the game, and got some great shots! Check out all the pictures (by clicking on the link or picture above), and also look at the LAST PICTURE. That wasn't taken by us... that shot was published in the Columbus Dispatch. Check to see who is watching in the background. You can't get any closer than that!
In other news, I wish all of my loyal readers the Happiest of New Year!!! (you know who you are, Mom(s) , Grandma, and family!)
Stay tuned for more excitement next year!

Merry Christmas!
Accenture had their Holiday Party this past weekend (on Saturday night). Holly and I got all dressed up and went out for a great evening with my coworkers.
Since I rarely am ever caught in a tux, we figured we would take the opportunity to capture it on film. So, here we are, all nice and fancy.

OSU - Football and Basketball
What a great time to be a Buckeye?
If it's not our football team (OSU in the National Championship Game, Troy Smith's Heisman), it's the basketball team (already been ranked #1 before a tough UNC loss, the return of Greg Oden)!!!
We've been taking advantage of the situation, living in Columbus, going to the Michigan game (which was truly amazing!), and now getting ready to go with basketball. I was surprised that our game tickets to Ohio State-Cleveland State were courtside!
Please see my pictures below for OSU-Michigan from a couple weeks ago (sorry that the pictures are late). Also see below pictures from my cell phone (sorry they are blurry) of my surprisingly good seats at the Schott today. #20 is Greg Oden, the best college center in the country, in only his 2nd game of real action playing with one hand (his right hand is still in a heavy brace). Mr. Oden did not miss a shot today from the floor... he went 8-8, and showed flashes of his true potential as a dominating big-game scorer.
Like I said earlier... it's a great time to be a Buckeye.

OSU - Northwestern Trip 2006
So it is written:
Every year the group of four shall convene at a Big 10 stadium to watch the glorious Ohio State Buckeyes take on their inferior opponent. He who does not make the trip, shall pay for all!
So it was done:
By air, by road, but not by sea (although in Chicago it could have been possible...), Bill Niebruegge, Jason Waina, Mike Olsen, and myself converged upon Chicago and Northwestern University.... each being too cheap to be caught as the guy that would have to spring for everyone else's expenses!
Check out the pictures! (With a special appearance by Chad Spring!)

We've been busy...
Lots of new pictures to share.
First, Patrick and Amanda got married on 11/4, and are hopefully enjoying themselves in Aruba as we speak! Holly and I took some pictures at the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The photographer at the wedding and reception definitely took plenty of pictures, so we didn't bring our camera to these events.
Secondly, we have accumulated a bunch of pictures "without a home". Things that didn't neccesarily get their own blog post, like our birthdays, a trip to the Air Force museum, the finishing touches on our garage, and our most awesome ride this past weekend (a 2006 Ford Mustang). So, if you are curious about any of those things, click the link below to view some of those pictures.

Jason Takes to the Air Again...
Today was bright and clear, the wind was calm.... a perfect day for flying.
I reserved a Cessna 150, grabbed my camera, and took to the air. I wanted to get some aerial photos of my home on this beautiful day with my green yard and leaves still on the trees.
I took off and flew over the house, taking several passes. Then I called Holly on my cell phone and had her come out and wave to the camera in the sky. Look for her in some of the pictures!
(Click on the picture below to be taken to the photo album to view additional pictures).
Also a new note... I've been trying out several web photo galleries over the past couple of months. I think I've finally settled on a good one (Google's Picasa Web Albums). It's free and easy to use. As such, I think I'm going to stop using my old one (which had several sets of photos from about June of this year forward). So... if you have a few photos you'd like, please download them by the end of the month, as I am going to discontinue my membership to the old photo gallery suite.

Technical Difficulties
My apologies to our fan club out there...
The ChalkServer (home of the ChalkBoard) experienced some "technical issues". As some of you regular readers out there (Hi Moms and Grandma!) may have noticed, the ChalkBoard has been down a lot lately. Finally this morning, the ChalkServer up and died. I'll spare you the technical details... but let's just say it doesn't work anymore.
Thankfully, armed with a spare PC and my supreme technical knowledge (also with a little bit of humility), I was able to put my "disaster recovery" plan into place. Now, a new ChalkServer has been christened and all is well with the world. This new ChalkServer should be a little bit better with uptime and is actually a faster and more capable PC... although I'm not sure that means much since this little webpage doesn't neccesarily need a supercomputer.
Anyways, sorry for the technical issues... but they should be resolved for the foreseeable future!
