I will have to get this matrix working. It's fundemental to my publication, but what exactly is going wrong? The view is acurately populating my datagrid. The matrix is properly displaying the detail. Why am i having such difficulty populating an inline summation of the months by row? Sql Server Reporting Services 2000 What have i missed in my processing?

Well, the office move down the road was a success. I've added a couple of links with template change to this blog. The adult Sunday School went well. I've sent an outline to the Reverands of our evangelism committee's first few plans of action. I stopped by the library and picked up more audio books. I've been though the witches of eastwick and I'm now on tick toc.
I've sill have a ton of work here ...

Well, I've already missed three days in my quest of daily journaling.

• Shoe shopping - just a week ago we found for my three year old ds a toddler 12 w-wide (double wide) at the Galleria and found that there is a shoe maker out there who takes my extremely high arched wide as flippers foot into consideration (men 13.5 w-wide) SAS - SanAntonio Shoes - not very inventive name, not very inventive shoes, but they fit me. AS my current shoes where split on the soles of the balls of both feet and the inner lining was completely gone. We decided to look into SAS and try to find a pair under $150.00 (I'm seriously thinking of going back to making my own.) We did find a SAS shop in Lancaster Tanger Outlet mall and I was able to get a pair of the closest thing SAS had to dress shoes for $128.00 about half of what a pair of simmilar quality and style as I've found so far... I wish I could just phase from here to a shoe maker in Hildalgo ... I'd have a shoe made for me perfectly pay the man $45.00 US and know that neither he or i was ripped off, but "transport me to ... scotty" hasn't worked yet.

February Lodge stated meeting is on St. Valentine's Day. It is strange that in my lifetime I've actually seen an event where attending Lodge would be a conflict with my health and family ... lol...

I'm going to have to rework my reporting process... using a subset of object specific queryies (stored procedures) takes too long to process ... wonder how the view/filter front end will function? ...

If I understand the concepts correctly, this will be my second post of the day and in my blogging history. dear wife, dear son, dear daughter and I live in York, PA. I work in Baltimore and this weekend we are visiting my dw's immediate family who also live in Baltimore. We were all very tired last night due to my dear daughter choosing to have an hour long emotional melt down at three o'clock Friday morning so when bedtime for the children arrived at eight o'clock we (dw and I) had commiserated to join them in sleep shortly there after. My dear son became adamant that he could not sleep here in "Grandmama's house" because as he put it, "I can't sleep in my airplane bed, its at my house. I can't sleep in this bed, its not my airplane bed. I can't sleep in the guest bed, its mommy and daddy's bed. I can't sleep in Grandmama and Abu's bed. I can't sleep on the floor, its not a bed. I can't sleep downstairs, its too cold. I can't sleep in the crib, its Jillian's bed and its too small." My son is only three years old and he put into this one breath string of arguments an intensity and drama that was worthy of his father (me) and my father (ddr). My line of the family is nothing if not dramatic and given to something of a passion for going off on tangents. At any rate, we were so tired and so amazed at the extreme passion and indeed conviction behind the rant that on its third cycle we all (Grandmama, dw, and I) burst out laughing. We asked ds if he would like to go sit for a minute with Grandmama to which he agreed, but he started the cycle again immediately to her. It reminded me honestly of my childhood visitations to the Church Of God Of Prophecy during a Sunday night revival when a guest preacher was in full swing. There might have been only a bare thread connecting the rant to reality, but no one could question the conviction and passion for which it was presented. Grandmama shus'd him softly then asked if he would like to pick a special stuffed animal from her table to sleep with. Grandmama has nearly all her stuffed animal's piled together on a single table in the room where we topically lay dd and ds when visiting. This complete change of subject and rather over dramatic reference to the toys caught me as strange as my ds's current rants, but it was all that was needed to remedy the situation. A joyous, "yes", from ds and he was up the stairs to pick an old elephant and crawling into bed.
So often I find a part of me that is excited by experience just because it is new; something I've never experienced before. I find that more often then not, my experiences with my children are events my entire self rejoices in not just that one small part of me.

I have always enjoyed reading free form style writing. Outside of this I am hoping to gain some idea of my current cognitive focus. As a result this Blog will likely be an unorganized ramble through my current perceptions of past present and future events.
If anyone knows me online it is because I stand out as FirstMalone everywhere I can. Being the first Malone born to my family generation, is to me a calling card. I am nearly obsessed with respect to family history. I find great joy in learning to folk tales of the adventures/experiences of those who have existed on this planet before me and along with me. I do see this human species as a global unit even if it as a whole does not grasp the concept.
I am enjoying growing in my relationship with my wife (a.1997) , my son (b.2002) and my daughter (b.2004). My constant experiences with them have touched of more introspection and positive visible change in me then I think any other influence in my life. This is not to say there have not been a multitude of events to guide me to improvement. It is simply that their influence has been so compelling to me that I am often myself amazed by my own receptiveness to it.
