A new venture... What's in a name

I have always enjoyed creating and learning how to put information on the web. My hobby is now growing! I have accepted my first professional contract... providing web services - designing websites/ pages, online training programs, web and email hosting, etc.

Now, I need a name! I am currently looking for suggestions. Please let me know yours -there will be a prize!



An Update on Tina and I:
We have been home now for 2 months. This is a major break from the pattern of our lives these last number of years. We have arrived back home soon enough to enjoy the winter. We went to Kelowna with the youth and I was able to get in some skiing. It has also been great to reconnect with family and friends before my work with Folklore gets busy with the onset of planting. Great parties in the last couple weeks as my sister MA and Tom visited - we celebrated my mom's retirement and birthday (along with all of the guests of the surprise party). Tina's sister Shannon, Kevin and their kids were here - that was another party! At work things are ramping up! Planting starts in 2 weeks and there is a lot to get organized in that time!!

Back home

Back home again! Wow that was a fast trip and we are back home again. This is the first year in many that we are actually back to take in a little winter... I think that we will have to do some skiing!!
here are some photos from our last the last couple weeks in Guatemala - salsa in San Juan, retreat weekend to the lake and Tina and my quick visit to see the group out in Rio Hondo. - enjoy: http://picasaweb.google.ca/colintina/08dLastDaysWithOuttatown

Feliz Dia Del Cariño

Hi all!
Our contract with CMU ended a little over a week ago and so the pace of things slowed back though have continued to work a little to put the finishing touches on the program.
Every year that we do come to Guatemala and work with CMU i am continually amazed at the amazing people that we get to know and call friends! What a privilege to collect friends from across Canada and in Guatemala! The team is currently working out in Rio Hondo working on their Habitat for Humanity project - we are building 4 houses in the community this year. Tina and I went out there this last saturday and had some time to hang with the group and to make a final hand off of info... While we were there we visited the waterfalls of the 'Rio Hondo' - an incredibly beautiful spot!! Unfortunately for me, i lost my footing and went in the drink so did my gear and my camera but amazingly after 3 days of drying it works again!.

Now that we are back in Antigua we are actually able to take it easy. We have had great times visiting our friends from here. We played a marathon set of settlers of catan with Uve and Lyn in the house that they just finished building - what a view! Tina and I had the familia Gomez-Baeza over for pizza last night. It was great to finally be able to host them - they have hosted us for so many years! We were able to borrow a car and visit Chici Barbella at the boys home - which in the last year has become a boys and girls home - God is doing great things there.

Tomorrow, is the 'dia del carino' and we are set - especially as this is some vacation time! I think this one has to go down in the books - a simple surprise for Tina in the morning; a massage for 2 in the afternoon; reservations at the Santo Domingo for dinner. Good times!
