Are you a parent of a high school student here in Carson City, Nevada? If so, please check to verify that Carson High School has your correct telephone numbers. Your child may be truant and you may never hear about it.

I am sick and tired of receiving calls about some kid's truancy on my cell phone. If I answer the call, it is only a recording. If I don't answer then they leave a voice mail. The trouble is that one cannot return the call to the phone number they call from. They're wasting my precious time and I can't be bothered to find their number in the phone book to let them know that they need to change their ways. This isn't something that anyone should ever simply leave a voice mail about - missing one's education is far too serious in today's world.

I sure am glad that I never bothered nor had the time to have kids...

Okay. Rant over.

A few months back I took a nosedive into rebuilding a much larger site. It's nearly finished and hopefully I'll have a large chunk of uninterrupted time to do all the chores that are involved to get the new version up and running. It feels like it's taken forever, and perhaps it has taken longer than it should. I've spent too much time dinking around, changing this or that and sometimes starting over from scratch. But all that is behind me and I need to forget about it.

Work is good. I've been at my current job 1 year now, and more than half of that time on the graveyard shift. I think I'll stick with this job for a long time to come.

My Danny is fine too. He is always the one around here who can never find anything and can lose something within five minutes of having it in his hands. I am constantly called on to find things that I've never laid my eyes on until he loses them. Fun huh?

We took a vacation a few weeks ago. It's been quite a few years since I've actually gone anywhere during my vacation time but this was a special occasion - his Mom had her 80th birthday! What a time we had celebrating! I can't remember when I've eaten out so many times in one week. It was all good, and despite the weight that I gained I survived all the fun.

Be good to yourselves. Not sure when the next time will be that I'll get to update this.
