Happy Wednesday.  Actually this is my Friday.  After today I’m off until next Tuesday.  I told you about Josh’s kitchen in an earlier post and so I wanted to show it here.  He is enjoying making some food for Uncle Mark.

Last night I met with the owners of the Mexican Restaurant I’m building the website for.  There is a slight language barrier and so I wasn’t really sure what they wanted the website to look like.  So I took my best shot and built some test pages to show them.

A friend asked me yesterday how I would know if they liked it or didn’t like it.  I said if they shook their heads and smiled it was okay.  If there was silence there was a problem.  So when the website popped up on my laptop screen the silence was deafening.  🙂

So we communicated some and made drawings and I asked questions and now I go back to the drawing board.  Jeanne said “You must be very disappointed.”  I said, no not really.  I wasn’t thrilled with the design but I had no concept of what they wanted.  Now I do and so I can start to build something based on that new information.

I played around with it last night for a little while before Mr. Sleepy came up and hit me in the head.  So I am excited by the new direction I’m headed and it will be fun to test the waters again in a couple of days.

Coming home last night was a really bad experience.  The fog was as thick as I can remember.  I was only comfortable driving about 35 mph and then I could barely see far enough to feel I could stop if needed.

I got to Dubuque and the street lights made it a little better.  I call a phone call from a friend and as soon as I saw the name on the call I had a sinking feeling.  I had told him he could ride to Dubuque with me after my meeting.

I had forgotten about that as I was thinking more about the changes required in the website and the drive.  I apologized profusely but it was one of those life’s moments that no amount of apology can undo what has happened.

Had it been a normal night there would have been no hesitation to simply turn around and go back to Maquoketa and get him.  But with the drive through the dense fog I had just completed there was no way I was going to risk two more trips in that soup.

Fortunately the need to get to Dubuque was more for convenience than actual need but I still felt terrible about my forgetfulness.   Ugh, just a very bad feeling.

That’s it for today.  More fog this morning but I’d rather drive in daylight fog than night-time.  Enjoy your day.  Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
