BABY!

My best friend and her husband had their first baby this morning! He is healthy and she is too, everyone is happy and I am so excited and proud. They are down south and I am up north, so it will be a while before I can see the little guy, but I feel like giving everyone oldtimey cigars and hugs. HUGS! Good job, baby.

Yesterday was my last day of classes and I am still a bit dazed. I made it through my second year of graduate school, only one more to go. I am at work right now, maybe my last day? Not much left to do, the design jobs all are finished, just been cleaning up my computer files, destroying evidence, etc. I am not sure if I am supposed to come in next week or not... it seems like the sort of thing where I am technically supposed to be here for one more week, but my boss is nice so he may tell me to just go do my thing. I am so ready to do my thing. I just want to be outside right now, sitting on rooftops or porches, eating grilled things and walking a lot with no destination. I went to the gym yesterday and smelled the chlorine from the pool and got all psyched for some swimming action, my bike tires are reinflated, basically my brain is sitting on the dock at a lake having a nice cold beer even though I may be sitting in this office typing to you.
