The conversation went well, he was shocked to find out about what all had happened, and had some questions, but it was good to get it out.

On the other hand it went later than I expected so we didn’t get to go see the baby. But on the third hand, that’s probably a good thing since I wound up being sick this morning. I didn’t need to be around newborns carrying whatever germ I might have. I’ll see her some time in the early part of next week.

The odd thing is, my brother and sister-in-law’s good friends were also due next week, and I understand they had their son about a half-hour before Kaitlyn was born. So Congrats to Brian and Susie as Well! (Babies, babies everywhere!)

    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.

    Yes it’s true. I’ve been very, very busy of late but with the end of my volunteering to hang around as a consultant to my former employer having come, at last I can begin to focus on some other projects, and maybe make an effort to post more often! 😉 However, the first order of…
