In Memory

Friday, November 28th, 2008

It was 14 years ago and it feels like last week. My son, Patrick had his last Thanksgiving dinner with the family in 1994, and then lost his battle with AIDs two days later. He was just 19 and had been suffering from this horrible disease for several years. He just wanted to live long enough to have a cure discovered, but here it is 14 years later and still no cure. He was so sick at Thanksgiving that he could only eat a couple mouthfuls of food, then he had to go into the hospital ICU the next day.

I’ve never really enjoyed Thanksgiving since then.

Project Delivered

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Well, after several hectic days working on that project, I sent in the draft and expected to finish it up the night before meeting with the client. But the client had a change of plans and came in a day early, so they flew with the draft. That was a little disconcerting, but he says it was a hit. So it’s done and I hope we get to make the deal. Cross your fingers for me!
