Wheeee!! -or- Parentheses on parade
Great thanks to Hellsjester. He introduced me to Hendrick's Gin, which I promptly purchased and am currently enjoying (that's about 4 glasses of enjoyment, kids). He and the lovely Hexadamsel
had me over to dinner the other night for roast beast. Excellent stuff.
The former's current obsession with Alton Brown is working to my great
advantage.
It occurred to me recently that I have it pretty good. I don't have a byline on the front page of the LA Times (Ron, if you're out there, congratulations! We all knew you were headed for greatness), but I do have great friends and a fairly nice job doing something I enjoy (although a certain someone will be returning from maternity leave in a couple weeks...I'm trying not to think about it). I think everyone needs to experience this kind of epiphany every once in a while. If you don't occasionally realize how fortunate you are, you're prone to loss of perspective and irrational depression. I know no one who doesn't have something to be thankful for. I know several people who don't seem to realize what they have. Everyone forgets sometimes; that's normal. I just think it's very important to remember from time to time.
I don't usually do the Live Journal update thing, but I'm here. I've been reading what all of you have been saying. You're terrific and it makes me happy to hear that you're well. Thanks.
