Dear Family,
Short entry this week. Work still busy but not quite as bad. ESPN was in on Thursday as they are looking to roll out more live games using our technology. We have a big problem in that in order to do a live show, you need about $60,000 worth of hardware. If you're doing 6 games at a time, you need six times that plus a couple of backup systems. That's a LOT of money, even for them. Anyway, meetings and demos went good. They are excited for my product which is full screen (chrome-less, border-less). You will enjoy it as well.
Friday night, I drove north but was so tired, I pulled off the freeway in Bountiful to get a drink but took a nap and ended up sleeping for two hours!!! I couldn't wake up. I'd gone for my first bike ride after work (outside ride) and it was just wonderful. Nice weather and felt good to get out and fly!
Saturday morning found me and my father out in the pasture with the wire stretchers in my hands fixing fence. It was good to be in the sun and even though the wind was blowing, it was warm. Good to spend time with Dad. Not sure we made any lasting progress on that old fence but...that seems to be the nature of work on the farm. Dad and Mom were both a little under the weather so I drove to the Webb farm where the 5 car garage had been magically transformed into a matrimonial gastronomy garden with flowers, food, fun and friends. The was a curtain of white the walled in white tables, chairs and silver trays of shrimp, salmon, pasta and colorful fruit. A good time was had by all...except maybe the groom who was suffering from the same flue that most everyone else has been experiencing.
Drove back to Grace for a good night's sleep and then up and to church. Dad and Mom still not feeling too well and with the bitter cold wind, not too excited to go outside. I came back to an elk roast dinner with the Kent Clegg family and another nap before driving back to Utah. Joe, Kai are growing and go around like little men. Niah celebrated her birthday a couple of days early..she will be FIVE on Tuesday.
On down the road, stopped by and visited with Frank and Melissa and ate pudding. Gavie and Sophie were in their beds but not asleep...i wanted to go collect their little hugs but was afraid it would rile them up too much. Little Drew sat there in his chair asleep but smiling happily as he dreamed away. Stopped by Dan's for a minute while Hayley practiced for her play tryouts and Dan and I moved the Mooney motor from little Toyota truck to big Toyota truck.
And today...back to work again. Another good week in the works...I hope!
Love to all!
Peter
