This past week was a bit bittersweet since it involved leaving home yet again, but luckily it's only 4 hours from home this time and in a much better location. Just outside of Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana. I haven't been in this area in about 4 years but it really is one of the more enjoyable areas to work. Now I just need to make sure that I don't head to the casinos! Although a trip or two might be in the works.
While home my wife and I went out to go see a movie. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I saw a movie in the theaters mainly because of the ridiculous prices. But I'd been wanting to go because there's something different about seeing a movie on a huge screen rather than our tv at the house. We ended up seeing The Martian with Matt Damon and I have to say it was better than I was expecting. It was lower on my list of movies to see but it was the only one that the timing worked out unless we wanted to sit around for 30-45 minutes for another movie to start. It was a pretty inspiring story about what one man will do to survive and how others will come to help. I liken it to the battle for financial independence, although at much lower stakes.

Well my first attempt at the roundup for this week went horribly wrong. I had finished and scheduled it for yesterday morning and then wanted to add one more thing to it and changed my mind. Needless to say I didn't save it again and then it got...

Well it was time to head back to work again. This time in sunny southeastern New Mexico. It was a fun 11.5 hour drive from my house in Houston to near Carlsbad but luckily I didn't have to drive it straight through. They paid for a travel day...

Hi Everyone, I might be just a tad biased, but I truly believe I have one of the greatest wives you could ever ask for. I've thrown around hints on various blogs that I work on average 50-60 hours per week year round. I'm doing this because...
