On a personal note.

Today at work, one of my co-workers mentioned to me that her husband was just “in love” with my wife. Now before you assume this is some big scandal, I should probably tell you that they’re an older couple who we had over to our house as part of a Holiday get together over the weekend. He got to meet Angela for the first time and was very impressed with her hospitality, wit, charm, etc. To top that off, Angela sent my co-worker a recipe for a cake that he really enjoyed, and sent me to work with some leftover Habanero cheese that he enjoyed too, proving that her thoughtfulness and hospitality extends beyond just the event at our house.

She made the comment that Angela made quite the impression on him, but that was no surprise, that she is impressive. I said, “I know, that’s why I married her”. 🙂

It’s unfortunate that sometimes I get so lost in my own work or problems that I have to be reminded of how wonderful my wife is, but I’m glad I was today. I’m incredibly lucky to be her husband, and while I can’t say that I deserve her, I’m glad that I was able to overcome and become the sort of person she’d want to be married to.

  • Running on Fumes

    I heard someone on the radio use this phrase to describe herself as we were out grabbing a few last-minute items to assist with riding out Hurricane Ida. She was talking about evacuating her home in New Orleans at 10:30 last night, driving to Alabama to seek shelter, and then doing the show remotely from there.

    Here, we aren’t in as much of a need to evacuate, we are further from the coast and the storm surge, but it’s still going to be a long, dangerous couple of days. So, we are spending a lot of time, and both mental and physical energy, preparing to possibly be without power, for needing to leave if the house is damaged, and so forth. It’s a lot. And that is on top of all the mental energy necessary to deal with large COVID outbreaks we’ve had in recent weeks, all of the recent events in world news, and the various personal and professional challenges that we are also dealing with.

    Running on fumes is a really good description of how I think most of the entire state feels today, and yet, there’s a storm coming that we are all going to have to deal with, while everything else just continues on as well.

  • Car Trouble

    Is there anything more stressful than having car trouble? I’m fairly sure that it’s an alternator problem, but the car is only a year old. I shouldn’t be having that sort of problem with it! Not to mention the fact that I just had it at the dealership for a recall last week. (Unrelated problem.)…

    My wife and I went to see A Beautiful Mind tonight. It was a good movie, but a difficult one for me to watch. Anything that reminds me of the complete emptiness that losing time created in my soul is tough for me to swallow. Watching John come to grips with his delusions, and the…

    Last weekend was not only a long holiday weekend, but it was also my birthday! Our newest tradition when my birthday falls on a long weekend is to take a few days and go away in order to get away from everything. Last weekend was no different, as we drove up to Cleveland to spend…
