Every­one,
I’ve decided to leave the pro­tec­tive arms of Feed­burner behind for RSS and email feeds. They bro­ken my feeds (for both this site and tellyouwhatithink.com) over and over and wouldn’t couldn’t let me send out the last post that I’d put on tellyouwhatithink.com let­ting every­one know that I was mov­ing the blog to glennvance.com for some stu­pid rea­son. Enough is enough! I’m host­ing the feeds from now on myself. I’ve always prided myself on self reliance. Who needs a Google-run com­pany to do it for you when you can do it yourself?

I’m going to do away with the email feed for awhile. I can’t get the plu­gin that runs it to work. Sorry.

So, if you’re read­ing this, and you sub­scribed at some time to my website’s feed, please point your eyes to the new feed in the upper right of the grey bar at the top of the screen. Thank you.

A Very Big Week

by Glenn Vance on August 25, 2008 in Family with No comments

Man, I haven’t writ­ten on here in about a month I think. A lot has hap­pened since I last wrote any posts. What has hap­pened? I lost my job. Got let go.

And look­ing for work hasn’t been ter­ri­ble. I’ve had quite a few nib­bles on the resume, had an inter­view, work­ing the emails and the phone. Some­thing will hap­pen soon, I can feel it. Then I won’t be Mr. Mom anymore.

But that’s not what this post is all about. It’s going to be a very big week around here. In no par­tic­u­lar order -

  1. Noah starts kinder­garten. Mon­day August 25th, 2008. Today. Ms. Owen is his teacher. Is daddy ner­vous? Oh lord yes. He will be a Sea­hawk, as the pic­ture to the right shows. That’s the school mascot.
  2. Pey­ton starts mother’s day out. Is daddy ner­vous about this? Nah, not as much. It’s mother’s day out, not kinder­garten. Minor league stuff.
  3. I am finally start­ing the long march to the Master’s degree this week out at UTA. Colo­nial Amer­ica to 1763 will be the first class. I couldn’t be more excited and ner­vous at the same time. It’s going to com­pletely rock.

So that’s life right now. I miss writ­ing here. Gotta fin­ish up that Oper­a­tion Down­fall series. How will it end? Who knows.My bet? The Amer­i­cans win. I’ve got a shiny penny rid­ing on the out­come, believe me.
