Let's see...things seem to really be up and down as of late (which is unusual because I usuallly don't pay too much attention to the down side of things). I'm not going to bother to put things into coherent sentences and paragraphs...because I update so infrequently that I think that it's just for me these days.
I saw one of the most amazing things yesterday. We spent the day on top of a building installing some aluminum...the weather was incredible and we were looking across a large valley at the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Well, we got done well ahead of schedule and knocked off and headed back to the shop. As luck would have it, we were stuck on top of a bridge and waiting for a stoplight. Well, below us we had the most amazing view of people fly fishing for shad. It's kind of a big year for fish spawning, with the destruction of the dam. But while sitting up there and looking at the fishermen...it was just beautiful.
I've been putting in a lot of time scheduling all the fun for my friend's bachelor party in Vegas next month. I've been helping my friend Tiina with her new life. She's been telling me about all her troubles with work, and I can see that I would have gotten fired so quickly if I had to put up with the crap that she did. But, I find that I have to keep reminding myself that we-re just friends and that she needs time alone without any pressure from me. (Besides, Wendy wants to go out again and I want to at least see if anything is possible.) My uncle has just been told that the cancer has blocked up most all of his digestive system. He will probably be dead within a week. The irony is that cancer that will end up killing him, I just helped to raise $15,000 to help with awareness and research of the specific type of cancer...and didn't know that it was hitting so close to home.
Well...on that lovely note, I'm going to sleep...or at least to lay in bed in the dark for a while.
