First entry

Just thought that I would get some things out into the webosphere, you know, since everyone else is doing it I may as well do it too. 

I have been married for 5 years and this last September we had our first born child. He is such a handful of joy and fun. We named him Ethan, a good hebrew name that stands for "firmness, steadfastness, constancy, strong, impetuous". We really did not know what it was we just liked the name and ran with it. 
As you can see he is a beautiful boy, we love him more than we could have ever imagined.

Beth is a stay at home mom now, has been since right before his birth. She loves it at times and other times it is trying. I could not do it, I love my son more than life itself but I could not do what she does, I am glad I married such a strong woman. 
I have been working 2 full time jobs, one is with an IT firm doing support for hospitals and the other is with a financial firm, running an office and directing a team of agents. Between the two I do not get to see my boy too often but I do it so that in a year or less I can spend all the time I want with him, a sacrifice I am willing to take so that I can give more later. 
Off to another subject. Lately I have been fascinated by some of the things some of the locals here in Phoenix AZ will do to their cars to make them look good or "faster". A friend of mine and I have started to come up with a set of rules for what items added do what to a car, most of them are end up focusing on the horse power output of the car with varying degrees of other factors. We may start a totally different site about it here in the near future. We just laugh at what people will do to their cars to make them look good, or to make them unique. When we get that up I will let you all know.

That is it for now, focus on what you want, not what you don't want and life will give it to you.
