Wow, it has been more than a year since I last posted.  To those depending on me to "keep it fresh," I apologize.  I'm sure I have plenty of excuses, but probably no good reasons.  Anyway, this week has been, and continues to be, crazy!  We interviewed three people yesterday, and we are trying to set up interviews ...

Today is the start of the first week in Little Rock without Brandon Mik.  Brandon worked for the Little Rock office for more than a year, but he moved to our Albuquerque office last week.  We will miss Brandon, and we wish him the best.  We know that his transfer will be a successful growth opportunity for him.

Yesterday was a big push to finalize a huge draft application.  So today there is almost no stress.  I'm just cleaning up a few things that slipped a little because of the big project and writing a few cost proposals.  It's good that this day came.  We are starting to run short on work.  Hopefully these proposals ...

You're probably too young to even know the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, much less one of their songs.  I don't listen to LS anymore, but I've recently been reminded of their song "Travelin' Man."  The only part of the song that describes me is the title; the song is about a much different type of travelin' ...

Monday I was golfing in a client-sponsored tournament (my team won second place with a 55!), yesterday I worked on five different modeling projects, and today I'm preparing course material for our newest class "Advanced Air Permitting Techniques."  If I could squeeze in a plant site visit and a meeting with the state agency ...

I'm normally not a gadget geek or on technology's cutting edge so this is really cool to me. Nothing much to say otherwise; I've been home due to illness for a couple days. This phone helps me stay in touch from home (or anywhere else) even easier.

It's Labor Day.  Tomorrow starts the busy season.  College career fairs and interviews begin in earnest this month.  Several clients and industrial groups have golf tournaments over the next two months (everyone waits until it cools off).  I am currently scheduled to play in three and will likely play in a couple more ...

I'm starting my trip back from Louisville, KY (I have to fly through Chicago and St. Louis to get to Little Rock - go figure!) where I've been attending the annual Coal-Gen industry group conference.  This was my first trip to Coal-Gen, and it will probably be my last.  Despite a heavy focus in the agenda on ...

I went to a public hearing today where people could comment on some proposed regulations changes.  Compared to other public hearings I've been to, it was very uneventful.  Only one person gave comments - the Executive Director of the Arkansas Environmental Federation, which is an advocacy group for industry in ...

Yesterday, my entire office (at least those of us who were not out of town) went to an all-day seminar called "Get Motivated."  It was well done and included some big-time speakers such as the founder of Monster.com, Jeff Taylor, and the former major of NYC and former republican presidential primary candidate, Rudolph ...
