After arriving home on the red-eye flight Saturday night and coming home to a busted bedroom door, I’m finally in a state to make a post here!

The conference in Houston went well.  I arrived last Wednesday around noon and went conferencing, but later that night I met up with Dawson (an old frat bro) who lives in Houston for some seafood and drinks with some co-workers and had a great time.

Thursday I played golf at the Black Horse Golf Club which was probably one of the best golf courses that I’ve played on yet.  I was paired up with the founder, president, and the regional Director of Texas.  Pretty intimidating pair, but we managed to shoot 3-over-par for the day.  We all also managed to get a nice south texas tan whilst playing our game.

Friday and Saturday was filled with our presentations and partner presentations such as Microsoft, Dell, Acronis, Level Platforms, and others.  I took a Microsoft exam that day for another MCP and did pretty well.  Friday night we had a mystery dinner theater show which was pretty fun as well.

After getting back late on Saturday night we had a good father’s day here.  We hiked Stone Mountain up and down in the morning and then headed over to my parent’s house for a grill out that night.

Today I came home a little early from work and was going to hit the links again, but unfortunately I soon discovered that the head of my driver had been snapped off in transit from Houston back to Atlanta.  Crap.

John has been in Houston for the past few days leaving Dominic and I here to fend for ourselves. We were doing fine until I had to run and get two of the neighbors to break Dominic’s door open while he screamed and screamed for about a half hour.

A few months ago I noticed that our bedroom door was locked for no reason so I just picked the lock and went on my way. On Wednesday evening It happened to Dominic’s door while he was in the room napping.  I couldn’t pick the lock the whole knob was just completely frozen, that was a very scary moment. I tried for about 15 minutes to get the door open all while Dominic was crying. Then I ran into the street and stopped my neighbor from driving home to come help me. He tried for about 10 more minutes and couldn’t open it. So I ran next door probably looking and sounding crazy to my neighbor Matt’s house.

Matt was just arrested for receiving stolen property, he has a really loud truck that he drives around at all hours, he has loud parties pretty often, and he mows our lawn and does strange things for us even when we ask him not to. He is my favorite neighbor from now on no matter what else he does. He completely saved the day, and part of my sanity. I rang his doorbell and explained my problem and in five seconds he was in my house with a crowbar and a credit card and Dominic was free. The poor baby was so scared and confused.
Then after all of that Preston ate a chipmunk.

We miss John!
