Sometimes You're the Windshield

Blogging Tunes: Dire Straits - Ticket to Heaven

Real quick update.

The Good:

• Finally feeling better after having a nasty cold (whatever the kids had) for a couple weeks
• Energy level up a bit (but not quite to the level of January) -- hoping to start biking to the Ferry again
• Heather's mom is here for two weeks!  (Yes!)
• Heather had surgery on her wrist - carpel tunnel stuff
• Short term pain, long term joy
• Floyd turned 4 and is doing great; Orion is better after a bout with hand, foot, and mouth.  Oy.
• I'm loving my job and CRM had a great quarter; also the new campus is nixed
• Finally ditched my PoS Blackberry for an iPhone 4S.  Sooooooo much better.  Best part is that 94 WYSP streams perfectly over 3G via radio.com app.
• Big forkin' tax return this year -- ah, the joys of home "ownership"; now I gotta reswizzle my withholdings at work so I actually take some of that home vs. giving it to Uncle Sam each month.

The Bad:

• My good friend Rich "Ding Ding Wikki" has cancer.  He's blogging about it.  Kick its ass, Rich!
• My upper-body pain isn't really much better.  They upped my Tac level to 3.5mg (from 3) and started me on a little Prednisone to hopefully relieve the inflammation.  Not really happy about this as it's affecting my sleep and (it seems) my mood

The Ugly:

• Drove down to San Jose only to see the Sharks score on the first shot of the game against the Flyers.  Final score: 1-0. Ugh.

Kicking the best I can,

-jg
