Fuck.

Getting on a bus tomorrow morning to go see how my Grandma is doing.

I'm sorry for your loss. The thought of this haunts me daily given the age and condition of my grandfather. I wish you the best.

Is this a new feature on PRF or a doing of Windows Vista (btw, for the love of God, don't spend a penny on this shit, even if all the laptops in the store have it. Hours of turning things off to get it work a bit faster and to make it look more like XP/2000 guarenteed. CRAP. Oh yeah, this new graphic engine is the first thing tu turn off, even on a new computer. CRAP again. I still haven't found "my network" so I'm accessing other computers in the network by their IP's. Did I mention it's CRAP?)

My birthday, and I decided to Try New Things instead of sitting on my ass all day and reading. A roommate and two friends were going cross-country skiing on the mountain, and I was cajoled into going along on my first such outing.

Mighty struggles ensued, which gave me new respect for the GI Joe character in the white outfit and red beard who's always skiing up and offering alpine suggestions to the rest of the Joes. About halfway through one of the friends took a nasty tumble and wrenched his already bad back, so the rest of the afternoon was taken up with returning skis at the chalet -- packed like a stockyard and full of poorly behaved children -- and finding the guy's painkillers. I just got in the house, chilled to the bone and exhausted, and am drinking whiskey and wiggling numb extremities.

What, the company tank, or are they just going to wing it now on the science bit?

Apparently we have been on the verge of running out of money for quite a bit of time now. The very highly paid dual presidents just neglected to tell us about it until this morning. Don't worry though, they and the highly paid consultant relatives they hired will be fine.
