Winding down

So much has been happening. Thankfully, so much of it seems to be winding down. My mega-huge, crazy-big, high-pressure project at work launched yesterday. And it appears it launched without any hitches. I celebrated by taking a shot of Maker's Mark and drinking a beer with my wife over some Wick's Pizza.

I'm sitting in the hospital right now with Jooj and her family. Her dad is about to have brain surgery. He suffered what they initially thought was a stroke but turned out to be a warning seizure. It will all turn out okay I'm really thinking. That's not just hope talking. I'm pretty sure that this will all be good.

My wife's ex-husband's cousin's middle daughter was taken off life support after suffering injuries in a car accident that left her brain dead. She passed away and the funeral is tomorrow. It is sad whenever anybody dies and especially so when the young pass away. Sarah Marie Bearden was only 22 - very sad.

I haven't painted since I moved the studio upstairs. Stupid Boba was sick last night. Doctor Obliteron dinged 50 (City of Heroes geek update there - all "normal" readers please ignore). Will started football conditioning. Kelsey is going to go for her license next week. Jooj and I are shopping for tile this weekend. Will is officially an 8th grader. Kelsey is one day away from being a Senior.

And life keeps on truckin'.

Happy Birfday Pac-man

Pac-man turns 30 today! Yay!

Where have I been? The question to ask is what have I been (doing)? And the simple answer is work. I could be clever and type the word "work", like, 50 times or I can capitalize it and type periods after each letter. I could say something about all work and no play blah blah blah. However, as you may have guessed, I have been working day and night and weekends for longer than I can remember.

All work and no play make Jack something something.

I need a break. I need a promotion. I need a nap.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms, baby's mama, and ladies with lil' chil'ren running around!

We had a great Mother's Day brunch this afternoon. We had all the mom's over along with the rest of the family. We made a kick-ass breakfast and went through nearly 3 dozen mini-muffins from My Favorite Muffin (didn't even know that place existed until yesterday... now will never forget it). Future parties should *always* be brunch. Delicious!!!

May the Fourth Be With You

This is what Kelsey txt'ed to me. I thought it was very cute. Get it? May the Fourth be with you... May the 4th? The Force? Get it now? Aw sheesh, we're such Star Wars nuts!
