We are now in august and it is hard to know where the yes has gone in only a few short months Christmas will be here again and that is scary don’t get me wrong I love Christmas but It is such a busy time of year at work and lots of personal things happening at the same time.

The main purpose of my visit to DC was to attend the NOAH Conference which was fantasic I will try and make a more detialed entry about the conference in coming weeks once I have got over the jetlag.

Then the trip Los Angles was for Fun went to Disneyland for 5 days, Wow it was busy note to self never go during peak sesason ever again the crowds were insane.

I will try and post some photos to my Flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/glenbrace/ by the end of the week.

I was unable to make any posts while away due to the lack of Internet access.

First thing sorry about this being my first post in nearly 2 months.

Life has being very busy with work and doing a lot of overtime, and a trip up to Sydney for the weekend to go to the AFA Sydney get together and catch up with some friends, Also went to Port Macquarie for the day, Was a great weekend but came home so tired.

Went and checked out Shrek Forever after and cinemas the other week,

The movie was better than I expected, My main complaint was it took to long to get into the movie kind of a fast overview of the first 3 movies which I don’t believe was really needed.

Holiday Plans

I will try and make a couple of Blog entries while I am away if I can get access to the computer.
