Sean Bossinger’s Doings

Not much, really. Here's a shout out to all you lurkers out there who read this.

I found out this weekend that I have a bit of an audience… okay, one person, really… who looks at this. He's a great guy. In fact, he's the father of my wife, the lovely . It's kind of embarrassing when you realize that someone is looking at your LJ who you didn't expect to have looking at it. But then that's why we put stuff out here, isn't it… so others can read it.

I think I'm starting to get out of my funk. For those who don't know, I've been in a funk… I've been taking a lot of “in-office sabbaticals” lately, where I've pretty much disengaged from my staff. Now I find that I'm re-engaging with my staff in a big, big way. To the point where they're starting to engage with me, too. This is A Very Good Thing. Now I just need to put it to good use: in my family life, in my studies, and in my work.

It's now less than two weeks until our Disney trip. We're going for another five-night, four-day extravaganza. This should be extremely fun, since it won't be summer.

Speaking of theme parks, we went, this past weekend, to a local one: The Miami Seaquarium. Liam, a friend of ours, gave our family annual passes to go to the Seaquarium. We had a lot of fun; but it was sad to see that they haven't really done anything with the park since the last time I went: 1985. I know that the park doesn't have the number of tourists that go to Disney; I don't even know if they have the number that go to Parrot Jungle Island, about 5 miles due north of this location. What I do know is that it is expensive to maintain a park of this nature, and that they do charge a lot for people to get in. I think that the owners would be well served to improve the facility. Yes, it's only 35, 38 acres; but you know what? It CAN be made a lot nicer with some landscaping - there is hardly ANY shade there.

Anyhow, that's all for now.

Ciao!
