back, again, again.
Okay, so, still not quite ready to do the fun blog about the trip and the wedding. I think I caught something somewhere between here and San Antonio, throat hurts, mild fever, it is quite unfortunate.
Good news is I've got clients who want me to do some work. Always a good thing.
The funeral was a funeral, seeing my mom's family was good though, despite the unhappy occasion that brought us together. Seeing my cousin in the coffin was a startling reminder of mom's funeral, they had the same eyes and nose. But, my uncle is doing really well, he turns 75 next month (he was 12 or 14 years older than mom...I never can remember and don't feel up to the math right now). He quit salt and alcohol after a heart attack and subsequent renal failure during surgery a few years ago, and he's in really good shape now. Inspiring, actually. We are planning on going back to San Antonio for his birthday.
Other news, Lance Armstrong is coming out of retirement to go for an 8th Tour de France. I do admire him as both an athlete and cancer advocate (I do wish his personal life wasn't reported on though) and I'm actually rather excited that he is going for it again.

I don't understand why retired people get so bored that they have to come back... I think it's a man thing.
glad you're back baby cakes
glad you had a nice visit despite the dire curcumstances...hope you get to feeling better soon too...
about Lance Armstrong, I have mixed feelings about this man, b/c from what I remember hearing when he had cancer his wife stood by him and then they had a baby shortly after he recovered and then he left her for sheryl crow and yada yada yada, perhaps I have this story distorted but I just find that sort of man to not really be a good one (but then it could be b/c of how simmilar my marriage was to that story...)
but I can see how he can be inspiring to some...dispite his mistakes
Get better soon. You can recover over the weekend whilst working on your fun blog . (Inspiration?)
I've always found funerals to be so bittersweet--on the one hand, youre obviously sad, on the other, you're around a bunch of loved ones that you are happy to see.
hows your family holding up?
