The weekend...

What a weekend!

I made the trip from Houston down to Corpus Christi for Mother's Day. I mowed the yard, grilled some steaks, pork ribs, and chicken breasts. Mom and Dad shouldn't have to cook for most of the week. I also helped Mom order a new laptop. I'm disappointed that I couldn't convince her to go Mac.

If we would call the weekend those hours between going to our jobs, my weekend ended today (Monday) at noon. In that time, I received two phone calls informing me of different friends/acquaintances passing away.

One was a little girl from the church I used to work for. She had been fighting a brain tumor since last August. She was in kindergarten. I got that call Saturday night.

The other was a friend of mine from high school, a few years younger than I. There was a car wreck. That call came in today at about 11:55 AM. I was just getting to the office.

What a weekend to lose such wonderful people. To Ali Christian and Mrs Bigbee, I pray for your comfort and peace in the loss of your children.

Revisiting...

So, the other day I was on IM later than I should have been... and after that, I couldn't really get to sleep.

I just wasn't tired.

I picked up on a project that I hadn't gotten around to for over a month. All that was needed was an artistic review and criticism... the constructive kind, not the "this is why this is terrible" criticism.

A day or two later, I looked over the response email... and the quoted text. Here's what I take away from that:

If I send you an email with a time stamp after... I dunno, let's say midnight (this one was probably around 2 AM)... There are going to be typos. It will also tend toward the flow of conscientiousness style of writing... ie, I'll probably be close to rambling on-topic.

That's about it.
