Licescapades

Greetings all. The holidays have seen us sharing the season with so many good friends and family. We've also had several new visitors. Several hundred, in fact. Yes, lice have come a'calling to the Mehl household. Beginning with Sydney, and now moving onto Emelie, these vile little micro-menaces have become quite the ultra-nuisance.

The girls have suffered from the ongoing hair washing, nit-picking, and folicle probing. Poor Lori has suffered probably even more from having to administer all of the above procedures despite the insistent whining and moaning of the patients. Plus she's had to nuke all the sheets, towels and carpet almost hourly. I must say, Lori has taken to the cause of eradication with the zeal of a Hamas bomber.

We're not quite sure where the little buggers came from, but most certainly from some unknowing (hopefully) second grader. Both girls are a few inches shorter on hair now and truly know the feeling of a fine-toothed comb. Hopefully the little creeps will go out with the New Year. (The lice, not my daughters.)

Speaking of the year end, I know it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. That's been a side effect of a crazy December. Several huge projects wrapped yesterday. I've been working intense hours, but to the benefit of Binary Pulse. All kinds of good, exciting stuff going on. We have a new employee starting January 9th, and plenty of good business lining up for Q1. 2005 was the best year ever, with revenues up approximately 20% over last year...our previous "best year."

Christmas was great and I'm working on an epic photo essay on the main site. So stay tuned for that. I'll put all the details of the season in that.

Have a safe and happy and lice-free New Year! See you in 2006.
