Dearth of updates

We changed hotels Tuesday and lost WiFi, for some reason dial-up wasn't working either. We got on WiFi at the library in Oberlin where Russet's sister works, but I just haven't had writing time.

The mass and graveside service Monday went off without a hitch. Brian's widow was able to attend all events, so that was great. She's doing better and may be home in a week, her blood sugar level is bouncing all over the place but everything else seems to be coming under control.


We're off to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame then flying out for Phoenix, spend a couple days, play Champions, then Sunday night I'm driving Russ home to Cloudcroft. I'll be spending a few days up there, setting up WiFi DSL and probably doing some photography at the observatory, they're in a mini-shutdown right now.


Ta!

Finally home!

Pisser #1 was finding out that my laptop did not hibernate when I shut it down at noon and the battery was totally flat. So I didn’t get a lick of work done during a four hour flight. I was hoping to pretty much finish up the program that I was working on, I’m VERY close. Sigh.

Pisser #2. Went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today. Pretty cool. Bastards won’t let you take a camera inside! Fortunately the “hat” check was free, otherwise I would have walked back to the car to secure it in the trunk.


Flight back was relatively uneventful, kind of bumpy the last hour but a monsoon is building up, so no big surprise.


Pisser #3 was my dad. We couldn’t get our directions straight, we were on opposite sides of the airport when we arrived, he didn’t recognize that the door numbers that I was telling him about were odd numbers and the ones on his side were even. Russet tried to tell me we were on the opposite side, but she was majorly wilting from the heat (103 or 108ish with the weird atmospheric conditions that precede a monsoon). Eventually we got together.


Dinner at Cheesecake Factory, had a great Caesar Salad, sufficient for lunch tomorrow.


Sunday we’re driving up to Cloudcroft, but for now, I’m taking a cold shower.
