I'm back..

My weeklong vacation is over.. it was pretty nice. I haven't had that much time off in 3 years. Thanksgiving was tasty (thanks John).

I have a lot of email to sort through, and a lot of catching up to do at work. I'm rather apathetic to politics at the moment though. I guess I go through phases on caring/not caring.

Oh.. and a friend died this morning. Nadine was a very nice old lady. Every time somebody we knows dies, it's sad - but this is our lot. It's just not tragic when somebody lived to an old age and died naturally. It's unfortunate that it takes death to answer the greatest mystery of life.

I'm sure Gorak is pleased with the latest arrival...
