Cleaning up my site a bit, preparing for spring maybe.
I’m considering shutting down my development page due to lack of interest and time on my part. Considering some other changes as well. Especially if I want to use this domain to host a self-publishing endeavor I’m considering…
This was a relatively quiet quarter despite being the holiday season. There were no new revelations at Cornell other than “wait for it…wait for it…” We’re supposed to know more by April at which time we’ll be “re-imagined” into new organizational structures, made redundant, left with the bloody carcass of a once functional department, left around with a “phew!”, or a combination of all. We’ve decided that if I have to look for another job, it will be in some other state (unless something arrises in Rochester) as NY has become way to expensive.
It hasn’t been the healthiest quarter for our friends with a number of them suffering injuries and other rather severe maladies. My mother’s dementia has worsened to the point that I’m not sure she’s even seeing reality anymore and she can hardly walk. It looks like its time for her to retire to a home where she can get care that is geared towards her condition. I can tell it would be a serious relief to by brother and sister who are her primary care givers at the moment.
It’s been the busiest of holiday seasons we’ve ever had. I had planned for a rather leisurely vacation over our Christmas break of games (both computer and face to face). Alas, it fit no schedules so it was more of a eating, drinking, and socializing time period. I’ll have to try again next year…
As far as the year in review….If I could sum it up with a phrase, it would be that “it came in moaning and groaning and exits with a whimper.”
Looking forward, it appears that it will be a year of travel, Vickey has us scheduled to go to North Carolina, Pennsylvania, the United Kingdom, Indianapolis, and a few other places besides some that she will be going on herself.
Today is the last day of 2009, it’s time to do resolutions with Vickey. For those of you who’ve suffered a tough year in 2009, may 2010 be a turn around to goodness and cheer, for those that 2009 was all goodness and cheer, may 2010 be even better.
