Of People and Parties

Started summer classes today. It actually wasn't too bad. I met some nice people in class. Had lunch with a couple really cool guys and later met another passionate musician which lead to some great conversations. Pleasantly surprising given I had very little hope for this semester.

Mowed the lawn for the first time this year today. Sure looks good. Being a home owner can be great some times.

Tonight I think we are going to a party in George's honor tonight. My family loves parties anyway, but this is to recognize (I think) George's academic progress. He just yesterday completed his last class of his first year of college and managed to maintain an amazing 4.0 GPA. I am really impressed. That is way better than I did, for sure. George has a bright future, of that I am certain.

Of Apples and Adult Siblings

Macs are pretty awesome! I always believed what I was told about their superiority but ever since my boss bought me one for work at my new job I have been able to discover for myself. So far, so good. That goes for the job as well which has been a blast thus far and is looking quite promising.

Today I was helping one of my younger sisters compose a resume and cover letter for a job she would like to apply for. It is really making me reflect on how old my siblings are getting. There are already more of us employed than not from my family of seven children. Seems crazy really.

Well, my wife just got home so that's all for now.
