How long has it been since I updated? Too long I suppose. I suppose no news is good news. Life is good. I love my job, I love my wife, I love my cat...

I need to unwind this weekend. Boy, it's been a rough two weeks.
Just an example: Came downstairs Tues morning, and found water coming through my dining room ceiling, down the wall, through the floor, and through the ceiling of the basement. Turns out, the PVC pipes should have been factory recalled years ago... now we're looking at $3200 to replace and repair.
Sorry I didn't make it. I just wasn't up for a big party scene that night. Since I'm unemployed now, anytime you want to hang out is good for me. Let me know.
