Steve survived the surgery last night. The operatation ended at 1 a.m. It will take a few days before the doctors can call it a success. Jerry (Steve’s long time friend) and I stayed with Patty until a little after one. I am so tired today.

C.B. over at Mangina Monologues posted a funny video about age appropriate clothing. This post reminded me an eye-opening event in my life.
In 2005 Cindi was interviewing for a project manager position for Christo’s Colorado project. Cindi, K and I decided to go to New York and check out Christo’s Gates in Central Park Gates. [...]

A friend’s mother is 82 years old and lives in a small town in Ohio. His mother has always voted for the democratic presidential candidate. This year she is voting for McCain.

Patty called with unfortunate news. Steve has taken a turn for the worse. The swelling is uncontrollable and the pressure is too much for the brain. None of the drugs are reducing the swelling.

In corporate news we had the usual hiring and firing of a couple of vice presidents in the past two weeks. The shocking news is that a woman was hired as a new sales vice president! All of the other recent new hires have been white males. Even more shocking is the news that a [...]

Looks like our dream of being P-town property owners is slowly fading into the sunset.
