knock on that

Last Tuesday, D. found out that he was getting a (super cool) summer job in Seattle, to start the following Monday. So, uh, that was fast. We got him all packed up, and he flew out on Saturday. And now I miss him. But he's going to have a fantastic time, working on interesting and intellectually challenging stuff; and as a bonus he'll be making much better money than he would working as a part-time sailing instructor here, which was the alternate plan.

Tonight I stayed late at work to upgrade some software that's been in need of upgrading since the beginning of the year. Since my honey is in Seattle, I didn't have anything better to do with my evening anyway. I got home, fried up some fish that my dad gave me last weekend (mmm, walleye), and goofed around on the internet for the rest of the evening, looking up various pop-culture-y games like Mafia and 1KBWC.

I had PBS going in the background and watched the most of a program on Percy Julian (who was a scientist and a hero and an amazing man) then most of a program on the development of in vitro fertilization (amazing to realize how quickly that went from being unthinkable and impossible to being mainstream and routine).
