Thanks Sorus, and no idea.

Menolly...you're a shadow of your former self.

Congrats.

Was picturing Hashi's avatar saying that, which was a tad disturbing, but seriously, that's awesome, Menolly.

Oooh exciting

for work, health or pleasure?

A mix of health and pleasure, after the year I've had. Mostly for rejuvenation.

Tonight we're going to The Grand Ole Oprey. Charlie Daniels is the headliner. I don't think I know any of the other performers, and I'm not actually a fan of country music. But, it will be interesting to watch a live radio show, if they're broadcasting tonight.

Feel a bit all over the place really. Hell of a busy at work, and just feeling a bit out of it.

Oh well, it'll wear off.

I feel a tad burnt out - I think I need a holiday before I break someone or something (which I guess is why I'm here on KW instead of working - speaking of which, I should do some I suppose...)

Thanks!! Had some trainings the last couple days, best I've had from an employer, so a really good start.

I like going for walks and listening to some tunes, even just around the apt complex can help me.

reading this story is incredible and I'm really sorry you lost a friend. I can't imagine what it must have been like in the situations you described but it sounds to me that he was truly important to many people. It reminds me how lucky I am to have people I love and to be able to spend time with them, and I'll use this as a reminder to focus even more on the positives! you're very right that you don't know how much time we have, gotta value it daily! <3 <3 hang in there!

Nice work dude! I'm all about tracking gains in real life, seatbelt length is an excellent scale!

I'm feeling really good! Celebrated my first (short) week with my new job! I was only a little nervous in the mornings. Cant wait to start getting my hands dirty!

Damn .. Im feeling fantastic

Menolly, many many kudos. At our age, this is fantastic!!

I am in Prague for an educational conference. And my mind is a whirl of amazing things I learned today. Absolutely packed with good stuff!!

Also walked around Old Town yesterday amongst all the other tourists. It was freaking cold (35F) but enjoyable. One of the places we saw was a synagogue (begins with a P but the name escapes me right now) which was lined on almost the entire inside with the names of WW2 pogrom victims. It was deeply moving. What I thought was, Nigeria needs something like this, with NAMES of PERSONS who have died in all the ethnic fighting in the last 15 years, because they get forgotten, we hear about 100 people here and 50 people there and it's just numbers and we don't think about the faces of children and old women and men or their lives or families... anyway I'm tired and running on.

A lot going on at home, too. Stag of the Dawn is seriously considering a change in his direction. His vision and that of his organization have just gone two different directions and he's tired of fighting it. There has been a grieving process to it, because we both really believed in the organization and still do, we're just not really fitting in anymore ... one silver lining is that we are talking a LOT and communicating like we should, but haven't done, in a long time.

I would actually love to sit around some time soon and get totally bored, but that doesn't seem to be my life at all!

We did a day trip to Houston.
Great time. Pics up on FB soon.

Found the original NASA buildings.

More power to you both.

And brilliant silver lining
