I'm over at Gogo's house doing laundry and scheming. I can't confess just yet, but hopefully I'll have a plan soon.

Bastian is upstairs with Alli watching Monsters Inc, Brooklynn is sick with the flu. Gogo is cooking spaghetti and Grandpa is sleeping. It's all pretty quiet. Nice....

The funeral for Journee (did I spell that right?) was today. It was short but effective. We had some things to do over at the apartments before we went over to Brian's for lunch, so by the time we got there, most everyone was leaving. The laundry wasn't going to do itself, so we left as well. I changed out the fill valve in the hallway bathroom after Devin and I went to HD for the parts and a grab bar/shower head for Mama and Papa. Good times lying on the same bathroom floor where my youngest sister spends her time with the flu bug. My throat feels itchy.

Well, that's about it. Just waiting to geek out over AI tonight...Nobody stands a chance against Adam.

Oh yeah, Adam Barry, that dream is stuck in my mind forever.

Happy Easter people. We are in our apartment now and enjoying the opportunity of having our own place. It has been about two years since. It's not quite Hotel Barry, but it's nice. The job is going well. The prior manager, from two managers ago, is still living on the property. He has been really helpful shortening the learning curve adjustment period for me. He's a bit long winded, but he is full of good information, so I listen. Not much else is new. Bastian seems to really like it here as does Alli.

If you have patience through the accent...this is crazy man...I can't wait to get mine.

Well, it's been a while since I've even thought about posting, so lets do a quick update. Alli and I (and Bastian) are back in AZ awaiting the coming fall for school to start. I've picked up a gig that will provide us with a small income and a place to live over the next three years. But, if we consider our track record, it won't last that long. I'm sure we'll find a new place to move to within a year, although I'm not quitting school, so it'll have to be in the area somewhere.
Bastian is talking up a storm these days, and just in time too. Alli is about four months out until the newb pops it's head out and it'll be nice to have one kid that speaks English. I'm just not very good with babies. I find it difficult to rationalize or hold any sort of meaningful conversation with them.
So at this moment, I'm sitting upstairs at my parent's house (again) and writing some more on the book I've been working on for what seems like forever. I've changed it quite a bit because I've read some things lately that have really overdone the topic I was shooting for. I sent out a couple of chapters to some publishing companies and one wrote me back after about a month that requested the full manuscript for consideration. I was excited about that, but for some reason I'm holding back on that idea because I feel like there's something really missing that I'll stumble upon in the future....
Well, I guess that's about it. I'll try and put up some new stuff on the blog here since it's sort in broken record mode.
