We’re having a BBQ at the house this weekend.  Anyone in the area who knows where we live or how to get ahold of us is welcome.  Please bring lots of good imported or microbrew beer.  Preferred favorites include Newcastle, Guiness, or if you can find it – Shiner Bock.  Shindig starts around 4pm tomorrow.  Bring your swim trunks too.

Death is never a fun subject, no matter the circumstances.  I was woken up this morning with a message that a co-worker from my department was killed last night in a car accident.  It hasn’t really sunk in at this point.  He was a super-talented kid and was always eager to take the job head on and gave 110% every day.  He was one of the few people here that kept almost the same hours that I did.  I only wish I would’ve known him better.  We’re going to be hard pressed to fill his shoes.
