if you can keep your health, when all about you ...
It's time for the annual birthday illness. Two years ago, SV was sick during my spring break, so I took care of her. As my birthday treat, she went to work (against my wishes) so I wouldn't have to take care of her that day. The ensuing relapse consumed the second half of break. Last year, the illness gods showed up on time, this time spread to ( Read more... ) -
A Good Day
Tuesday was a good day. I received my first real post-grad paycheck. My debt level has yet to be affected and I will not see real breathing room for a few months, but it's more about getting some return on a significant investment. About contributing to society and using skills and abilities other than the ones I had 5 years ago. About being ( Read more... ) -

AP: I think I found the perfect name for a rock group. It's called "Beeping for Tray Five." I got it from the copier outside. It's been beeping all day.

Figures...
The two things that have been hard to come by are job offers and money. My life is on hold until I make significant progress on that front. Get the job, resume life. When I finally bite the bullet and get a decent paying temp job, on day one, I get two calls for interviews. The thing is this current job will not be finished before the ( Read more... ) -

The Two F's
Finances and Father. At least religion was not an objection. Her father hid the message since it was 'explosive' and did not want 'dare tell your mom' since it will 'definitely shock her.' One positive caveat is religion, as this did not seem to bother him. So long as there is no conversion and children would be raised good human beings. Whew ( Read more... ) -
The seeds have been laid...
Now the waiting has begun. Due to language restrictions, and undoubtedly stress-inducers, SV decided to go the email route. Her family would interrupt and fluster her with questions. Our strategy is to anticipate and address their concerns before they can object and throw her off message. Her family reminds me of an Italian family. They are ( Read more... ) -
Brother D
Just saw the snaps from DR's wedding. Amazing and beautiful. They had two ceremonies, one was Bengali and one Sikh (where his bride, EM, hails). According to SV, Bengali ceremonies are among the most colorful in the world. And I believe it. A few Woosterites made it, so I am glad they were represented. EM's roommate made it, which really ( Read more... )
