• Finally starting to feel like we're getting somewhere with LGR. Thanks to L8N for his help with that.
• All of my friends and family (and AES's too) are heading into the summer healthy and happy (generally speaking) and that's not something we take for granted.
  

Dislike:

Finally finished reading Duma Key. It was a good book and I enjoy most King novels, but I had a hard time getting to the end of this one. Decided to take a slight detour and pick of a John Saul book. Haven't touched any Saul work in 10 years, but I used to really enjoy his stuff, so I thought it worth a try.

Black Creek Crossing: A Novel

John Saul

• People over-reacting about the weather. Keep your head down. Be smart.
• Lousy baseball announcing -- stop talking about the sponsors and tell me something about the game.
• Busy past week at work - scheduling is not for me.
