well, lets see being in pittsburgh has been fun besides the constant sickness. But beyond that i have been getting along really well with my sister and bro-in-law, and benjamin has really taken to me. Mostly all he does is laugh at me and laugh at how everybody says he looks exactly like me. The job search has been pretty much null and void because of me being sick and spending time in the hospital with the kathryn and the baby. Being sick has for some reason gotten me into a really creative mood and i have started plotting out another long story to write. i havent really partaken in a big writing project since before i moved to philly, that one reached about 70 pages single spaced in word. but it was lost during the great reformmating disaster of '02. but i have been plotting out the story, it will as has everything i have ever written be loosely based on my life. and i feel i have plenty fuel in the tank to write another story about failure and rejection, as i have become quite used to those things during my time in philadelphia. i am thinking of calling it,I-80 or I-76. either would work, i actually had the idea to start writing about the last couple of years during the drive to pittsburgh (on I-80) after the move from philly. My mom asked me,"So tim, what did you learn from all this, you know the last three years?", my reply was simple enough,"do you want me to write you a book?" so after a long conversation with my mother and father about how they were pleased that i had come to a point where i could make decision on my situation and actually try and be proactive. my mother termed it as a "graduation" to responsibility, i just thought of it as a lesson.
