Uncle Robert made a day trip from Atlanta to come out and visit for my birthday. What a treat. There was an ulterior motive, though. He’s taking some college courses on web development and wanted to see how we run our shop.

It was a great visit. I got to turn the tables on the old Lieutenant and teach him some things about web programming, CSS, and project planning. He even got to sit in on a weekly project meeting, thanks to the good graces of my bosses. He also got a nice tour of our server room and an explanation of all the cool equipment. (Thanks Bryce!) Of course the old soldier still taught me quite a bit during his visit. (“Get your hands out of your d@#n pockets!”)

We managed to catch Tammy for lunch and had a good time at Chili’s. Robert took care of some important business. That is to say, he got an update on how Tammy is doing so he could relay it to is wife, Linda. And, of course, he entertained us with all sorts of war stories over some good chow. All in all, the trip was a success for all involved. I look forward to his next visit, whenever that may be.
