Got hammered last night for no good reason. Maybe its cause I leave for the states soon, maybe its cause I WANTED to...anyway, called a bunch of folks and slobbered all over the phone to them. I hope I didn't offend everyone TOO much. Called my uncle, told him he needs to go out and live his life before he really can't anymore. WHO AM I to say these things, talking as if I know something special. Silly. When one is young, one KNOWWS IT ALL...as one gets older, it seems we simply reinforce that belief. I wonder when it is that wisdom sets in. How old do you have to be?

Anyway, lets see if I can keep the damage down to a minimum today. I need to pack my books so that my wife is happy. I need to pack my travel stuff so that I can travel happy. I need to pack my son's stomach with food tomorrow so that I can see him be happy. Happy, happy, happy, the name of the game.

Time in Paradise

Coming to the end of a six-week stay in wonderful Panama. Spent LOTS of time with my wife and son. Got lots done at work. Maintained a relatively happy state the entire time. This place is good for me. I will be going back to the states really soon to spend some face-time at work, get some good training, and get the apartment cleaned up, mail sorted, blah, blah...

It will be good to be in the states again. Seems like I haven't been there in forever. Looking forward to seeing everyone at work, going to a ball game (Yankees AND Mets), getting my XPS finally repaired, etc...

Now, back to the grind.
