I've spent a large part of yesterday (Tuesday) sleeping and installing over 50 windows updates on the computer at my brother's house. (Still on IE7.x... egad) A lot of the time has been due to the VZW dial in connection on what they consider to be broadband and I still laugh at it six years after working at the place.
I've had two days of my niece. She's....well....she's all the things you would say of a baby if it was in your family. The really funny part about all this attention we give to infants and toddlers is that they won't have any real memories of it. They're brains just aren't formed enough to store long term memory yet. It is still amazing to me watching motor and mouth skills develop; watching a personality begin to blueprint. :-)
This is the first time I have had an entry on here longer than a few sentences because I've been text posting from my lame phone without the regular life buddy of a computer or "smart" phone. The keys are rather loud with my fast typing in this house. 2:15am and all is silent but me and the fish tank. I think it's a little louder.
It looks like plans have been set in motion to attend the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco next week. I have been only once before in my life and I was 19 or 20 years old at the time. I was living in Sacramento and my roommate, "Ducky" Vu Vu....haha---i hadn't thought of the nicknames in a while---and I went. Back then I was disgusted and uncomfortable being there. Last night in chat, I was telling Wes that I will probably find little that will even bat an eye. Oh how time changes us.
And oh how time changes others... health issues seem to be at the center of many people close to me. I get annoyed by hearing about them all the time because there is nothing I can do. Listen is what I can do. But listening and compassion has a limit I think. Eh... we'll see when the tables are turned.
