Ooh, I’ve got a couple! - Last month, Crusoe and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary - On Friday, our little girl was 19 months. - In November, it’ll be ten years since I joined the board. - Next March, it’ll be ten years since I met Crusoe at my very first Dope Fest. All this, and still none of you bastards even know who I am! ---

Lessee now: congrats to KneadToKnow, prettydorky, Sicks Ate, HalBriston, and Coldfire on nuptials recent and upcoming, and to Mama Zappa and TypoKnig, Suburban Plankton and Rhiannon8404, Jennyrosity, Shodan, and tomandjudy on significant anniversaries (after 22+ years, I’m very much on board with this ‘marriage’ thing myself), to Sicks Ate and Hal Briston on upcoming arrivals, IndyEllen, 'Toons, RickG, Mama Zappa and Typo Knig on the academic achievements of their offspring, Anaamika, Maiira, and pendgwen on their own academic achievements, and 'Toons again for hitting the big 5-0. > [@Cartooniverse](#): > > It doesn’t mean you’re getting old. > > It doesn’t. > 😃 I have a simple policy: numbers don’t mean anything until they jump off the stupid number line and force their way into your life. And so far, they haven’t done that yet in mine. So I stick my tongue out in their general direction. 😛 ---

I thought long and hard about a possible career choice, and settled on IS because I’m pretty sure there will always be a job as long as I remain flexible and alert. I’m in a new semester now. Struggling with Discrete Math. I am making steady B’s but it is to be sad because it will bring down my GPA which up to now has been all A’s and A-'s. Still, I am happy because I am still getting a B! ETA: My SO and I are not married. We’ll get married at some point. But we’ve been together 17 1/2 years. ---
