Actually I'm feeling pretty good lately. Things are going great, what with the book coming out, scoring a major project assignment at work, the kids being healthy and happy, etc. On the other side, my stepfather's bone cancer is getting worse, and him being a sort of "lust for life" kind of guy who never let anything slow him down before, he now seems determined to go through every one of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of acceptance (denial, anger, etc.) as slowly and dramatically and painfully as possible. This ordeal, contrasted with my own personally happy state of mind right now, is one reason I'm so flaky and absent-minded lately.The Posi BeforeFavorite music of the moment: anything by Phish, especially "Divided Sky", "Cavern", "Sparkle". Keeping it light.
