Updates

Well, let's see here. A few things have happened since my last post.

Aaron, our oldest, graduated from high school. He attended graduation last Saturday. We thought it would be cool, even though he probably has no idea what the event means. I'm sure he got something out of it. He was excited and looked great in his cap and gown. Pictures to come.

I've started a new film, but you can read about that on the other blog, if you wish.

I feel good about most everything else. Except my job. I can't tell if I'm going through a blue period with work or if I'm losing my zest for it. I told Tonya about it the other day. I think maybe I'm getting impatient about the film stuff.

I have to have surgery next week. Ugh. Minor procedure; nothing complicated. The only thing I can say about that is that it will keep me home for about a week. Tonya suggested I use the time to catch up on all my writing. I think that's a good plan. I'm looking forward to the time off, but I know I won't be singing the same tune when the time comes. Pain meds, do your stuff.

My in-laws were suppose to come down this week, but my father-in-law had to see the doctor and he advised him not to travel. My wife was really looking forward to seeing her folks. I get to see mine pretty frequently. She hasn't seen her family since we moved down here. Not her Mom & Dad. She's visited her sister in Kansas, but that's not quite the same.

As for family, I've started to grow homesick again and it's been about four years since my last visit to Mexico. I think I'm due. It would be great to take Tonya and the boys to meet my family in SLP. I just don't think we could afford it right now.

My brother moves to town next week, during my incapacitation. I'm sure he won't be thrilled to hear I won't be able to help him lug his furniture into his new pad. But then I'm sure he'll have his motley crew around to help him.

I can't think of anything else that needs updating, but I'm sure I've missed something. For now, I'm off.
