This morning, I present to you a few musings on yesterday, and some observations on the news. After that: Back to the Requirements Matrix!
Yesterday, I spent some more time down at my dad’s place. ’twas an interesting morning. While my stepmother was figuring out Quicken, I was looking at some old photo albums. Boy, I looked young then, and what was up with my hair! It was interesting seeing photos of some of the girls I had dated and forgotten about, and looking at family and friends through the eyes of an adult, not a kid. I am still amazed how much my brother, in the one picture of him I have with a full beard, looks like me (or I like him).
After a dim-sum lunch in Irvine, it was back to the house to go through more of my dad’s stuff. I came home with loads of regular and bolo ties. I think I’m going to have to start dressing even more for work, just so I can get some wear out of the ties! I’ve also got loads of Shrine and Masonic stuff: My dad became a shriner, but later demitted. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with it all, as I’ve never had any interest in it. I may make a display case with some of it; as for the rest, well, I’m still investigating.
After a quick drive home, I went through the mail and unpacked. I loaded my new pen case from Pendemonium up. After that I called my “twin” Keith, and caught up partially on 20 years. It was really nice reconnecting… my next mission is to get him on LJ (heh, heh, heh). We’ll be getting together soon; hopefully, he’ll come up to the games day we’re doing at our house on Feb. 20th (if you’re interesting in joining us, let me know).
As for the news. I do find it vaguely ironic that SBC is purchasing AT&T. Seems there ought to be antitrust concerns there, but my how times have changed. Do people today even remember “AT&T is a amalgam of Unix trademarks”?
