90
We celebrated M’s grandmother’s (Zoe’s great-grandmother’s) 90th birthday tonight. I sat across a big table made up of a bunch of smaller tables from her and watched as her family here in St. Louis surrounded her both physically and emotionally with love, and saw how her family scattered across the country celebrated on Facebook. The woman is beloved.

Oh, be proud of him [’cause after all, he’s just a man…]
In the last 13 years, I’ve had four jobs. Four jobs where I sit at a nice desk and type a lot, and one of the biggest irks is when someone empties the coffee pot and doesn’t start brewing another.

Well…damn
My very first computer was an Apple IIe. I got it in high school and it was The Shit. I could play games on it, and write my homework papers on it. And I could shove a big ol’ giant five-inch floppy disk in the drive and save my stuff forever.

Farewell to a Beggar
We lost one of our own today. I am starting to get really, really incredibly pissed off at this death thing. It sucks any way you look at it. If you know the person is nearing the end (whether it’s because of age or cancer or whatever) it sucks. If you don’t know, because the person is young and reasonably healthy and there’s no reason to suspect anything is amiss, it sucks. I was in the latter camp today, blindsided by it.
