Well, it's been two months, so I guess I better update this thing... I have been up to my armpits at work in Patriot Act paperwork these days, putting in about 60 hours a week on average for a while now. 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Ugh. It's exhausting, but the pay is welcome. What's amazing to me is that if we... Read More

Good grief; I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your niece gets well, and soon.
Edit: I made a stupid joke about meth labs on the CE boards, before I read your journal. Just so you know that I'm not a spectacularly callous jerk if you run across the comment. (I'm really only a slightly dim, run-of-the-mill jerk.) And I do sincerely hope your niece gets better.
I did hear about those grassfires! Some pretty big ones going on down here!
Seriously, I don't understand how people can get so angry at eachother that they resort to violence leading to death. If you're THAT pissed at someone, don't you think you'd move away or avoid that person?
