Right in the middle of yesterday’s stress-filled running around, trying to get everything and everyone to the right place and then back again, I found out that my grandmother died. I couldn’t, at that time, really think about it or try to find out what the funeral arrangements were and whether we would be able to make it to NY for them. I’m trying today to find that information and make that decision so Angela and I can rearrange our travel plans for this weekend, if need be. Consider my blogging to be on a break while real life continues it’s interruptions.

    Not because it didn’t work, but because the latest update repeatedly failed to install, but constantly kept popping up a balloon from the Systray to ask me to download the same update that failed to install. Out of pure annoyance, I uninstalled the program. Some nights, that’s how I feel. Update: Thanks to the May…

    Let’s start from the beginning shall we? Last week, at some point, a co-worker got one of those forwarded twenty times, chain-letter, emails.
