Day two of kid-free life

On day two of kid-free life, I... 1) Washed the car; 2) Replaced all burnt-out light bulbs in the house; 3) Had a service call to reconfigure my home security system; 4) Unclogged the sink and tub drains; 5) Replaced the compression washer on the kitchen sink; 6) Performed preliminary analysis on 8 digital asset management systems; 7) Framed 3 pictures; 8) Did a half-hour Pilates work-out; 9) Purchased supplies to build a closet organizer for Gina; and 10) Made myself 3 meals and managed to keep the kitchen clean. If I was this productive all the time I would be very rich or very burnt out.

About

I'm an intranet consultant living in Nelson, BC. My company is One Intranets Inc. I'm the co-creator of ThoughtFarmer, social intranet software that powers enterprise intranets in Microsoft environments. I've been consulting on web and intranet projects since 1995 with a particular emphasis on interface design, information architecture and usability analysis.

I live with my wife, Gina, and our three children, Ana (age 7), Sam (age 5), and Reuben (age 1). Gina is my best friend and the absolute bestest wife a man could ever find. Ana is the most hospitable and intuitive 7-year old you'll ever meet. Sam accosts strangers on the street and engages them in deep conversation. Reuben walks from room to room and creates disasters, washing his hands in the toilet, lifting cats by the tail and eating things he finds in the kitchen garbage.

When I'm not working I'm playing with my family: golf, swimming, snorkeling, hockey, skiing and extreme travel. We're currently escaping winter with a 4-month stint in St. Lucia, West Indies.
