This week I had a nice surprise...a raise, about 4%. For the first time in 2 years and the longest that I have had to wait since college. Spouse is in a groove and has settled in. Her boss has complemented her a couple of times this week. I think they are syncing up. It sounds like her company may even grow a bit this year. I still think we'll have furlough weeks this year so I'm planning accordingly.

I found a data mining video series on google this week, so I ordered the textbook and will make that my 2010 learning. I'm excited, I have been looking for something to attack for a few months. I'm done with the Oracle certs I think. I may also look at cloud/host computing later in the year. Financially, I'm going to think about converting some of our rollover IRA money to a roth.
