Memories

I remember when I was a child, a very young child of maybe 3 or 4, my mother took me and dropped off at a daycare center. It wasn’t an every day thing, once or twice was all and it was always at night. I remember clearly that the place had very high ceilings (which was surely exagerated by my small stature), dingy white wall, and think brown carpet. There were toys everywhere and there was a song; a song that has eluded me for years until today.

I remember hearing the song once on TV on a commercial for one of those compilation CDs. I think this one was “Piano Classics.” Unforutnately, I saw the name of the song, but forgot it. Now, I’ve known the tune my whole life and why I never asked anyone is beyond me, but today a co-worker asked me about a disco remix of “The Music Box Dancer” and SNAP, there it was. My mind was flooed with memories of that place and that song.

Needless to say, I downloaded it and have been enjoying its melody for the last few hours. I’m glad that after years of having this song stuck in the back depths of my mind, I finally brought it out.

Things Are Great

Things are so good right now. Corinne is healing well, the baby is just wonderfull, and I couldn’t be more happy. Milaena is just such a blessing. I couldn’t have asked for a better daughter. She’s great. She rarely cries and when I hold her, she gazes up at me; looking right through me because she knows who I am. I find myself NOT doing things I used to do (swearing, etc..) cause I think of her and how my example stands so large for a child.

Everyone told me that I would change, but I really didn’t expect it to happen overnight. This has truly been one of the greatest experiences of my whole life, second only to the day I married my wife.

I Want…

I need to get rid of my old Mitsubishi so I can have this.

Bummer

Well, it’s official: my Dad is gone. He and Val moved to Atlanta yesterday. It’s been a long time coming. I remember a few years ago when he was going to move, but I didn’t think he would. All things considered, I completely understand why he went. I know that this is going to be a good thing for him. I hope that Val does well while she’s out there. She’s so friendly, I’m sure she’ll do fine. :-)

Hopefully Corinne, Milaena, and I will be able to fly back soon and see them. It’s going to be really strange when we move back to Salt Lake City to have them gone.

Strange SPAM

Got the funniest message today. It seems as if it’s just funny SPAM. There’s no particular point to it. There were no viri or any attachments. Here is the text:

Subject: Dimensional Warp Generator Needed ft ge

Hello,

I’m a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Since nobody here seems to be
able to get me what I need (safely here to me), I will have to build a
simple time travel circut to get where I need myself. I am going to need
an easy to follow picture diagram for a simple time travel circut, which
can be built out of (readily available) parts here in 2003. Please email
me any schematics you have. I will pay good money for anything you send
me I can use Or if you have the rechargeable AMD dimensional warp
generator wrist watch unit available, and are 100% certain you have a
(secure) means of delivering it to me please also reply. Send a separate
email to me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com.

Do not reply back directly to this email as it will only be bounced back
to you.

Thank You
