Honey-do Blog Delay

Some of you may be wondering what happened to my regular postings, as they have disappeared for a while…

This is true and it looks like I need about a month of slack time to get used to the idea of balancing work and home life again.

Although the 100,000 mile commute was ugly, it sure did give me time for so many “extra-curricular” activities – like writing a regular blog posting.

Now its back to the pleasures of real life…

And, as I work out the balance between home life and work, I need to take about a  month off.

After all, I just did re-commit to my wife of 28+ years and need to make good on that – click here to see the Heersink-Drost Wedding photos.

I’ll be back…

The Next Phase…

Some of you will remember that my summer vacation earlier this year was a flop – click here if you missed that.

I am happy to report that I have made up for my vacation flop by taking some time in the first half of September.

And, this time, it was no flop.

The “vacation” was actually a “honeymoon” for my wife and I – following our actual  re-marriage (to each other – again after some 10,000 days!) and marking the start of the chapter in our lives without kids (who have now all grown up and gone away).

And so now we’re on to the next phase of our lives.

With a stronger-than-ever commitment to each other.

Great marriages, like great workplaces are good news and help generate a high level of satisfaction and enthusiasm for life.

Needless to say, I am one happy dude…

For not only is my marriage great, but so is my work.

PAS is on a roll (read this), customers want our software & services, PAS employees are fun to work with, and the growth potential is enormous.

So as I enter into this next phase of my life – without the 100,000 mile commute, I am as excited as ever to contribute and help lead the ongoing success at PAS.

What’s ahead?  Where will it go?

For the details, you’ll just have to wait and see… but if I look at our #1 position in Alarm Management, the leading control loop performance management solution, our superb System Services offerings and our one-and-only plant-wide configuration management solution, it’s pretty easy to project…

Stay tuned…

Vacation...

For those readers who may be wondering what happened to my regular postings, here's the update:

 

I'm off on a short celebratory holdiay to the Canadian Rockies in honor of the end of the 100,000 mile commute.  It's really true - when I am back in Houston next week, my commuting days will be over!!!

I'll be back to regular weekly postings after that....
