Week of February 18, 2008



Good:
1. I was so excited on Friday to see Brian F. back at work. He returned to work about 3 months after having his brain aneurism. He looked amazing. I talked to him for about 15minutes and his story was really incredible. He is so lucky to have survived without any noticeable loss of ability. Simply amazing - a true miracle.
2. Keegan shocked us this past Sunday when he actually did something that resembled crawling. It was cool because we were on the web cam with my parents. Anyway his progress has continued. He can crawl short distances. As well really for the first time he pulled himself up to get to his toys. It was funny because Jen and I were so excited and we were telling him how great an accomplishment this was and he didn't show any excitement over his accomplishment. He was just focused on playing with his toys.
3. Rob and Tonya had their baby girl (Maggie) on Friday. Everyone is doing well. The timing is amazing because Rob finished writing at business pundit on Thursday.
4. Work has been really slow the last couple of weeks while waiting my next program to kick on. Somehow I've managed to stay busy. I've recently got the opportunity to work on a proposal for a card on another airplane. The competition is pretty stiff. Regardless it is interesting.

Bad:
1. We attended our HOA meeting. It started at 6:30PM and lasted to 8:30PM and no decision was made about our house paint. The meeting was interesting however we disturbed Keegan's schedule with no outcome. They said they are still waiting to hear back from the lawyer. It has been a long and stressful ordeal.
2. Jen, Keegan, and I attempted to go to the Zoo this past Saturday. We got there and it started to rain. We were able to see the Rhinos, Big Cats, and the Monkeys before we were rained out. I guess the timing wasn't too bad - Keegan slept on the car ride home.
3. I've noticed over the past six months or so that I've lost some strength in my right hand. It has a tendency to feel sore when I grip stuff or make a fist as well it just doesn't feel as strong as my left hand. When I have to grip something I can do it much easier with my left hand. The reality of aging.
