6650 Monday is here, once again. (belated morning entry)

Called Mother and the Grandmother yesterday... Gram sounds a lot more scattered since her trip to the hospital.

Have to swing by the ortho after work... a flexion test. I'm pretty bendy, so I think I'll do well. [update: did just fine, going back in next Monday to see progress]

Big Kahuna cut me more slack yesterday, as well as Saturday.. tossed me another 4 hours to do what I will. I took the opportunity to go on walkabout and just enjoy the outside for a bit.

On-call should be pretty gentle this week. ADP on M,Tu,Th, MA on W,F,Sa. I just have Su. With any luck, maybe I can spend some time with ol' Danny this week.

30 Hornets can take out 30,000 honeybees... yeesh... a massacre.

Spiffy Alien vs Predator Chess set. I also like the Spidey Lego set.

Had a nice talk with sedef yesterday, and her cutie lil bit. I hope she posts the pic for everyone to see. Her kidlets are coming to the states soon.. I'd like to hook up with them while they're in the sunshine state. (I'd *really* like to visit the place over in Saudi, too.. my Passport is expired... needs to be brought up to date. Be nifty to take Hala with me, and ride the desert.)
