Been a bit missing or lagging around here at Black Phoebe, be it text or photos. Life has been busy and quite full. I need a blogging app that I can talk to my mobile phone and it will post the text to this site.

On the News Front:

1) Decided to scrap Plan A for Plan B a few weeks ago, when Plan A decided that it was going to roar back to life on its own this week. Life is funny and that Murphy sure was prescient.

2) Yuck. The Ides of April are upon us! Have you done your taxes? I have to go get a check cut tomorrow.

3) Wow! Got to love it when geeks go single... Forget the puppies, let's talk... OK, DO, get back to blogging. My RSS feed has been waiting for you to start up again.

4) On the official Ides of April (the 15th), I will be flying off to North Carolina at oh-dark-thirty. I will be attending a 5 day "Programming PHP" training course in Raleigh. This will give me a good excuse to go and visit with Heather and Steve. And give my mom a lovely opportunity to visit a bunch of historical sites.

When my mom heard that I signed up for PHP / database training in North Carolina, she told me to extend my plane ticket and that she would join me the weekend afterwards. Apparently, she did many school reports on North Carolina and has never visited until now.

5) And then to continue my month of programming training, I will be going to the Ruby on Rails training course in Denver at the end of April.

So, I like learning. Take the girl out of the classroom and she feels the need to keep going back. I am also a big reader...

6) Last but not least, my very last birthday party ever will be at Alex's Bar on Wed. April 25th (one day after the real birthday) with the Flametrick Subs and the Irish Brothers. It will be an early show - 9-midnight. Come on down and join the festivities!
