On a slightly more somber note, I'm starting to think there is a ghost in the machine. Or at least, I'm learning we leave a bigger digital footprint behind us than I have expected. I keep finding the name of a friend who passed away several years ago from ALS listed in my phone contacts, favorites, and messages thanks to various information services auto linking things on my phone.
Scrolling contact list,
Your name appears many years later.
Lifetime remembered.

While I probably fall on the other side of the political line from Steven most of the time, I'm glad he said this. It's much better than I could have ever done.

The hardest part about going home are the memories. It never quite matches up to what you remember. In my case, it is made doubly difficult because I'm not quite in the same world I started in.
Two weeks ago, I woke up in my bedroom and found that all the sports poster my older brother had given me were gone. They had been replaced by various star 'scapes and modern space craft. I ran out of my room and smack into my mother.
"Mom, where are all my posters?" My voice cracked a little bit for old times sake. She leaned into the doorway and looked into my room.
"Right on the walls where you hung them?"
"Those are not mine. I want all of the posters Brad gave me after he headed off to State." She did not respond. "You know what I'm talking about. All his Steelers posters, basketball players, you know!"
"Hon, you've never cared about sports posters. And who is Brad?" more...

Yes, I'm still writing. Its going slowly.
Went to GenCon for the first time ever, had a blast, was sick half the weekend. Spent the other half of the weekend meeting friends I had known for years online.
With my wife going back to school, I've decided to borrow several of her books from last semester to fill some critical gaps in my personal knowledge. See, I wish I knew basic calculus, yet I can barely do basic algebra. So I'm taking some time in the evenings to read up on the Algebra to bring myself back up to speed. Hoping to be working on Calculus by next year.

Sixteen turns of play, see how well you can score. This is an excellent board game conversion, and so far, plays really well asynchronously.

Okay, head is a little clearer now... Iron Man 3 was a very good movie. I think they used the Mandarin, Ben Kingsley, and the Extremis storylines very well. Loved the ending sequence. There is the usual post credit sequence, and it is pretty funny. I want to say more, but for now it will suffice that RDJr, Gwenneth Paltrow, and the rest of the cast knock this one out of the park.
It was well worth the the midnight showing and my craving for brains this morning at the office.
