Helen and I were reflecting yesterday that time goes by faster and faster as we get older. I commented that it seemed like just yesterday that we put the Christmas decorations back into the garage. Here we are, December, thinking we had better get the decorations out again. As we prepare to move the eKzact offices to a larger space, and a shorter commute from home, we really haven’t had time to pause.

I stopped putting Christmas lights on the house a decade ago. It was a ritualistic confirmation that I am still nervous on a ladder, so I stopped doing that. I was the guy on the block who still had the Christmas light out until May. I should have just left them on until December.

Today in the office I realized November was still up on the wall… I thought to myself, if I don’t change the page now, it will be January. Then I remembered that we bought one hundred or so 2008 calendars to give to clients. This became one of my objectives for this week, get the calendars in the mail. Maybe I should just put up the 2008 calendar today and not bothered turning to December.

This year, after the holidays, I think I’ll save myself the effort and leave the Christmas decorations out until next December.

Note to self: Mail Calendars this year.

Welcome to DavidAWest.com.

So, who is David A. West? I am the owner of eKzact Solutions Inc. a Calgary website design & development company. I have been planning on starting a blog for some time now. My intention is to use the blog as an opportunity to extend our business website’s content in a more casual manner.

While a traditional business website doesn’t really allow for ramblings or general sharing of ideas – the web 2.0 world of blogging is all about getting “involved” in your website.

I am inspired to start blogging, in part because of Stuart Crawford, who has really become a key mentor and partner for me in business. His near daily blogging has drawn my attention. I really appreciate his manner and style, both personally and in business. He is one of the daily reminders that have brought me to finally start our blog. I consider myself a lucky person for having met Stuart. Stuart is one of the owners of IT Matters, a trusted Calgary information technology service provider.

Please feel free to contact me or reply to any of the entries in my journal.

Cheers.
David A. West
