\u00c2\u00a0Long weekend\u00c2\u00a0– I need it. Starting Thursday we’ll be gone for most of the next three weeks. Thursday we’re off to NYC to BookExpo. We come back on Monday and leave again\u00c2\u00a0on\u00c2\u00a0Thursday for London, Ontario for\u00c2\u00a0Sarah’s cousin’s wedding. We’re back on that Sunday and gone again on Wednesday to Chicago for the HNS conference, finally coming home the following Monday. Lots of travel and not much rest.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Dad – Back in the hospital again. Nothing too serious; just the same buildup of fluids that makes it hard for him to breathe. Thing is, this is exactly what convinced the docs he needed heart valve replacement way back in October. Now after 7 months of recovery from that, he’s having the same symptoms. Modern medicine is still a lot of guesswork.\u00c2\u00a0Dad should be\u00c2\u00a0home again on\u00c2\u00a0tomorrow, though.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Red Sox\u00c2\u00a0-\u00c2\u00a0Despite tonight’s loss to the Mets (they got outpitched and Lugo was playing, so there you go), they still swept the Jays this week\u00c2\u00a0and are a half game out of first. Jays and Yankmees both lost tonight as well, so no ground lost.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Weather\u00c2\u00a0– What a great week for weather. Got a bit of a sunburn from all the top-down driving, though.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 Illinois government – What a joke. The whole bunch of them need to be fired. Start over fresh. Maybe if\u00c2\u00a0the job paid better and\u00c2\u00a0was full-time we’d get some\u00c2\u00a0intelligent people to run for office.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Bob Marley\u00c2\u00a0-\u00c2\u00a0What a shame he died so young. Incredible music.<\/p>\n
