This will be quick, because I can’t feel my hands and I feel my elbow too much. If you can avoid it, don’t get a flare up of carpal tunnel and tendinitis at the same time. It isn’t a lot of fun. <\/p>\n

It was Friday. <\/p>\n

The day started out a little rough. It’s never good to see handwritten signs on the door indicating that every application we use or support is down.<\/p>\n

Things took a definite upturn at happy hour, where I met someone new who made me smile.  Kind of a lot. <\/p>\n

Then I drove out to Paddy’s and thence to the Grand Lodge for the usual Captain Neon burgers, beer and a great little folk group. And I think we all know by now that Paddy is one of my very favorite people. Before I could leave, we ended the evening in the required manner–a song. Our ukulele version of Creep. Paddy also made me smile. <\/p>\n

Now I am going to bed so I can get up early and drive to Eugene for a little Spring football. Looking forward to seeing friends and family. 
\nLooking forward in general. <\/p>\n

It’s a grateful sort of evening here tonight. It was warm enough to have dinner outside. We sat next to the fire, so my hair smells smokey in a very nice way. <\/p>\n

Life is good. <\/p>\n
