life, the universe, etc.
Well, perhaps not quite all that... in 1 post, anyway! ;-)
Have had a 2nd cuz from Canada visit us for a week. It was cool to see her again, and meet her two kids. OTOH, she's both an incorrigible tease, and a practicing Christian. Which led me to two discoveries about myself: 1) I absolutely do NOT want to be touched while driving; I was almost flabbergasted she could consider doing so. And 2) I'm only comfortable talking about my faith life with those who have earned my trust in that respect. I don't plan to discuss such things with anyone "only because they're Christian and they think that that entitles them"... Which I'm not thinking my cuz thought, but it's what her attitude seemed to imply.
And finally, am feeling tired at / of work. I'm checking in the current code; no new interesting problems are expected. So I'm downish, which I often am at the end of things. OTOH, it's been a looong project, other jobs might get some rust out...
Oh, and just one more thing: I read "The Day of Revolution" (about an appearance-wise guy who's biologically female, who decides to live on as a fem); it's pretty good, it has enough good jokes, and I ended up liking and enjoying it more than I expected to.
