Priorities
... note the smudged laptop screen... the pacifier... the nearly-finished bottle...
The smudges are from Emma showing me things on my screen. The bottle and pacifier are Riley's. The manuscript is an upcoming e-book on Team Edition for Database Professionals. More on that in a later post.
Juggling priorities is part of many lives - especially if you're a working parent. I've written about 75% of this current work between the hours of 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM. I was up anyway with Riley (Christy and I have "Riley shifts") - might as well write when he's snoozing.
Tonight is Stevie Ray's first soccer practice, so I won't be making the Richmond .Net Users Group meeting as earlier planned. I encourage you to attend if you're available this evening, Matt Harvell is one of those scary-smart people. Trust me, you'll learn stuff!
I will be speaking at next week's meeting of the Richmond SQL Server Users Group talking about Database Testing. I didn't mention it in the abstract online, but I'm planning to break out the Orcas Beta 2 version of TFS during the presentation - there's just way too much cool stuff in the new version!
Things are busy, that's true. And most work is done on flexible schedules. But life is going well for the Farmville Leonards.
Time to run - Wigglin' Boy needs to burp...
