I am sorry folks. There was no time at work to tell you how awesome you are, and there was no higher brain function before work. But I am finally home, and guess what?
WE ARE AWESOME!
I wasn't sure if you knew that or not, but just in case, there it is.

Awesome things in Kaige's life: I got together with college roommates that I haven't seen in 15 years and we walked around Boston, and laughed a lot. Eggs face is no longer swollen and he took his last antibiotic this morning. Also, that zip line I bought for the dog in the car has been fully tested, and while it doesn't keep him in the car, it does hold his weight, and he cannot touch the ground while dangling out the window (The car was in park and he was in a harness - no harm was done to the animal). And this week there will be writing! THERE WILL BE!

Awesome things in your life:
