| I finally have a line on some dirt for a berm and landscaping,
yea happiness (did I say Free!!)). Also we have a new guy
starting on Thursday, this may mean that I finally get to have
something resembling a vacation. I did a little dance at work and
freaked out the new guy, he is probably wondering what he has gotten
himself into. YEEAAAAAA!!!!!, oh wait what am I thinking it takes
2 to 3 months to train these guys up.......OH well maybe a vacation in
the fall.
It turns out that Tim is not
driving to Florida for a funeral for his father, but he will be going
to NY later for the "speading of the Ashes" ceremony.
I hope that everyone has a good weekend. Dm

| Well my wife and I got some stuff
done over this weekend. We picked up a new desk, setup her remote
(pillow) speakers, and painted a scrap piece of drywall (to see what
the paint would look like in the living room [its GREEN
I'm not taking chances!!]). The problem is that on the way out to
get a shade darker of the paint she twisted her ankle and chipped
a bone. Soooooo we spent Monday evening from 11pm to 2am (my
weekend was Sunday Monday) at the ER and then Tuesday (after 4 hrs
sleep) going to the doctors and pharmacy. She is now working from
home and I get to take her work to the office to drop it
off.
We have a new guy at
work, he is pretty quiet, but friendly to the customers. The boss
has him in training/follow the leader mode. I got to work with
him today, but he is not going to be here the rest of the week because
his father passed away last night. He was glad that he got to see
his father two weeks ago, and talk to him. I gave him my radar
gun for the drive down, to keep him entertained. Pray that he has
a safe trip, his name is Tim.
as a side note I'm not really watching
Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now
but my wife is and it's in the background so I put it up.

| At work today I had a chance to talk with a World War 2 vet. He was (is
always) a Marine, and served in the Pacific Theater. I wish
I could have just left work and recorded his memories from the past,
about the battles in the Pacific and Korea. His youth in the
Great Depression, and seeing where we are now. I gave him
my business card and told him that I wished to record his oral history
for the Marine Corps oral history project. I hope that he
calls. He seemed to be very open about his past, and
concerned about his future.
I worry that soon I will have to leave
my job to take care of my mom she is progressively getting worse.
She enjoyed going to mothers day at the Airlie Plantation
and getting out but my dad and I had to get her food, which for me is
not a big deal, but she couldn't see the pretty food layouts at the
buffet. I wonder about the balance of taking care of her,
and of my wife. dm Gal 6:10

| I dread writing. No
more time at work we are so busy. My roles have changed slowly
over the last six months. I find that I write on this blog
when things are not going as well in the world around me.
My dad had to put their last
cat to sleep yesterday. So I drove up to see my mom and make sure
that she is ok. I the months past she has gotten worse. She is
now constantly using a walker, and is reverting more and more to
japanese, her first language. One that I do not speak.
My wife and I went to see Munich. A rare human film, though it was long at times. this 6 day is wearing on me , I must get some sleep
maybe I 'll write in the morning. dm
