Hey all, things are picking up big timee in preparation for the fall in my work life and personal life.  The market that I support at work, the Texas ISO, and all the clients within that market are finally moving closer to the Nodal markeet and this means big differences in the ways that things are done in the Texas market when it comes to generation of energy.  Fun stuff all around, so things will only get busier.  I will be going to Orlando tomorrow until Friday for the annual user group meeting where we wine and dine some of our clients and give them so concentrated training and updates as well.  Then I come back for the long weekend and take off for Philadelphia to install our latest version of the Texas software at a client’s site.

As for the personal life, the Men’s Ministry at church is going full steam at this point, which is a great thing for the men in our church, and hopefully our families as a whole as well.  We just had a great time together serving our community by helping out on a Saturday at a Habitat build.  We are ramping up for the Men’s Advance (because we dont’ retreat) which should be an amazing time of fellowship together.

In other news, the running is still going strong and I am starting to feel the effects of it, in a good way.  Also, anyone who has ever visited this blog on a semi-regular basis knows that I am huge music fan and a vinyl nerd to the max.  On September 9th, I will have one of the best music days I have ever had with the release of the following (already on pre-order):

Woven Hand Ten Stones LP

Okkervil River the Stand-Ins LP

Damien Jurado Caught In the Trees LP
