Farewell Falwell






Tuesday: Some time in the early morning, I woke to Gus dripping snot into my mouth. Yuck. Up and mouthwash. Gus out of the room. In the morning, I felt like I had been drooling all night, no doubt in sympathy. Up, email as my brain solidified. A new project came into focus in a rush. Shower, Gus. Fed Gus and Oscar. Oscar was really quite pushy today, and also seemed to want some attention, and not just food. Down basement for morning practices. Drums. Started a build of a DVD I've been working on. Cleaned some mildew off the ceiling above the tub. A bowl of cereal. Burned a DVD.

Headed off to work, long way around. Quite nice out. Coffee. Worked solidly for most of the day adding some more features to my burn project, and some long overdue enhancements to the root dialog/process. Lunch at my desk. Talked to B in the late afternoon, discussion programming methodologies, and what I'm up to. Worked until about 11. Raining.

Back home, MB was doing audio recording. A bit of food. Down basement and proofing my DVD. Preparing it to be sent off.

Jerry Falwell died today. Does the fact that the only phrase that seems to come to mind is "good riddance," make me a bad person? It's a good reminder of impermanence. Even our most terrible enemies, fade away, and sooner rather than later, as do we. So people, in the meantime, why can't we just get along?
