Good to hear that Chris!

Nice, Mike! I was going to write something about gaining in length but this is a family forum, after all. I hope Duggeh enjoys taking over your room!

Ahm in ur listenin rhumz, heerin ur choonz.

Went to the funeral of my boss, who was a mentor and friend for 14 years, a wonderful man who died in a motorcycle accident a couple days ago. Cried and laughed a lot. Came home and went to bed at 4PM. Now it's 4AM and I'm awake. Gonna vacuum up the cat hair all over my house so Duggeh will think my house is always this...er...tidy. I'm really looking forward to just hanging out with good friends this week.

I heard about this from Mike yesterday. Really sorry to hear about it.

Sorry for your loss, Vicki.

My own good news: Over the weekend my cat turned up at the back door like nothing ever happened. Little bugger is back meowing and trying to sneak out as usual. Good times.

Good news. My dog met my neighbors cat. The cat attacked my dog, lost and disappeared for most of a week. They seem to be pretty self sufficient on their own.

Went to the funeral of my boss...

Condolences.

Hooray!

Glad to hear the cat news, Chris.

Sorry to hear the funeral news, V. Looking forward to cheering you up with feats of strength and other NC Festivus events this weekend.

LOL-Dougs always make me larf.

Sorry to hear of your loss V. Have fun at the HC/NC group hug.

Sorry for the unfortunate juxtaposition, but today I bought my son his first proper (pedal) bike. We rode around the block a few times together. He was well chuffed.

good stuff. good times. good memories!

Edit: Had to make things more/less explicit.

Sorry for your loss Vicki.

Glad your cat is back from carousing Chris.

When is he graduating to a motorized cycle Andrew?

Man, that sucks Vicky.

and yay for kitty!

woke up, went for a hike in the Marin headlands. took pix of various feathered beasts. ventured across golden gate for a bit of shopping in Cow Hollow, a stroll past Ghirardelli square, a trolley ride to Powell BART, a subway and bus to the airport, a plane south, a taxi home. guess I got nothing done, but came home to dual email account malfunctions. realized over a gin & tonic that today felt like a real day off mostly due to that lack of net access...

Class in the mid afternoon, 15 mile bike ride in early evening, and IM soccer practice at night.

Went to bed last night feeling relatively crappy.

Woke up feeling only slightly better, decided that 9/9/09 made a good day not to go into the office.

Had some coffee, a donut, felt a little better, good enough to play around in the wood shop.

Just put the first coat of semi-gloss lacquer on a project.

I feel out of it today, too. The accompanying sore throat is probably a bad sign. And kids are like predators, they can smell weakness.

Went to the work. Pointed out another problem that someone else caused with our code. Informed the client of said issues.... It's possible I will escape this hell..... but several things need to go right so the chances are slight. Fingers crossed.

Anyway I'm going to the Galapagos on Friday so life can't be that bad on 999 I just hope this sore throat doesn't carry through to something more sinister. I can see the headlines: Galapagos tourist kills all animals with swine flu.

I went to the beach, came back, had some nachos and a beer, and now I'm listening to gov't mule

God damn you. I'm sitting in an office, staring at a box, dying on the inside. So jealous.

Payin' hooky and donuts all in one day? Man you live on the edge!

No doubt! Almost time for coat #2.

Are you watching it dry for entertainment?

Nah, Lily is home, I'm plenty entertained.

Started packing for the flight to Ecuador tomorrow. Stupid 30lb limit on the Galapagos airline

Have a good flight and trip!
