Appreciations of the day

[Ranma_007]

I have arrived alive and well in Tempe, Arizona.

You're so far away, Yuth.  Soooooo far awaaaaaay.

I know! Even farther now!

I am actually quite sad knowing you're not in Illinois anymore.  At least there was always the possibility of seeing you once in a great while. :(

I am also quite sad that Yuth is gone, considering I live in Illinois.

Besides, I don't think they have 312 down in Arizona...

Just glanced at my profile, and discovered that my ten year anniversary was about a few days ago.

[Anastasia]

Congratulations! Don't you feel old?

Congratulations! Don't you feel old?

Yes!  I am looking to celebrate by finding an old kmart lawn chair so I can lounge on my lawn and tell kids to get off it.

Of course, not actually having a lawn will likely put a slight damper on those plans, but old people like myself sometimes forget these things.

[Anastasia]

Can't win 'em all.

People still remain in Illinois!  All hope is not lost!

...that hope has just slightly lost its luster, is all.  :(

That's unfortunate.  I find there are few greater joys than telling kids to get off my lawn and while they're at it, out of my street.

I regained my laptop from service.  Also, despite a call earlier informing me that they'd decided that it was the AC adapter, and not the battery, that was causing the problem, they replaced the battery anyway.

I won a $100 gift card. Yay.

You should get a job as a professional sweepstakes entrant. Clearly that is your calling.

If you can find someone that pays for that, sure.

[Dracos]

I am back at work.  Yay.

[Brian]

I found Shami within about 10 minutes.

The last showing of Les Mis sucked much less than opening night.

[Iron Dragoon]

Did my first non-tandem jump. In line for my second.

I am appreciative of the fact that I was successful in deploying my parachute and landing without issue.
