Dave has been traveling a ton for work, new clients, new business, all good for him and Colle & McVoy, not so good for me, Cole and Tucker. I think it is awesome that my talented husband is in such high demand, but I feel a bit like Cole on the days when he just wants to hide his toys and isn't in the mood to share.
But reality is what it is and thus Dave is going international this week, flying off to the far away land of Germany for a week. It is difficult enough to connect with him when he is stateside and in the throes of deals and transactions and presentations oh my, let alone in a timezone 8 hours ahead.
So he decided that it was time to learn what everyone else seems to have already mastered, SKYPE. As long as he has internet connection which he isn't 100% sure of, we will be able to "see" one another instead of just settling for hearing one another's voice.
He bought a webcam & microphone long ago, I don't remember why but it has been collecting dust in a drawer so he pulled that out and hooked it up and voila. We practiced with him upstairs on his computer and Cole and I downstairs in my office on mine. It took us a little getting used too but I think we know enough that we can muster through.
Dave came back downstairs to give me passwords and such and Cole ran upstairs as he wanted to "get on daddy's puter". We watched as he sprang into Dave's office, his face filling the screen. He likes to come in close so you get a full shot of his adorable mug. Dave spoke silly to him and got him laughing. He kept moving around (as he typically does 99% of the day) so it was like watching an action movie rather than just talking to someone. This went on for a few minutes when he suddenly blurts out "okay, show's over". Dave and I looked at one another and burst out in laughter, where did he ever hear that? He could hear us reacting and so with glee, continued to repeat this.
It obviously lost its initial performance value but nonetheless became instantly blogworthy.
