Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Florida



This weekend I am travelling to work for the Navy. This trip brings me to Tampa, Florida. A couple of months ago when I was working in New Orleans I was able to have dinner with my parents when they were at the beginning of their Winter trip. Tonight we had dinner in Clearwater at a nice barbeque ribs place. Tomorrow they head back to Minnesota.

Mom and Dad are pretty active. Notice their minivan with the kayaks on top. They also carry their bicycles, weight bench, and dumbbells in the back. On this trip they kayaked 100 miles and biked 400 plus did lots of fishing. It is sure nice to see them again.

It is also nice to see some sunshine and ocean! Especially after the past few weeks of snow. Well, I better go get some rest. Tomorrow I have take on the burden of defending our country. I hope you feel safe.

I am sincerely grateful to you and all the men and women who make me feel safe in our country. Thanks Ron! All I can offer is semi security that when you're holding a baby you won't get shit all over your pants. Not 100% gurantee, but better than Pampers ;-).
