Just took a close look at face in mirror. Music suddenly stopped playing, and there was this face which I examined as if a stranger's. Everything about it suddenly interesting and new as if I was seeing it for the first time. Tiny little unshaven mustache hairs, slight upwards curl at corner of mouth, pores on nose, who are you friend? I hardly knew ye. Unreal. This is when you know with certainty that you have been programming too much and too hard.
Good thing today was my last day at General Dynamics. All told, a crazy last week, with goodbyes and arrangements and errands and my developer tasks swelling up again after a lull. This weekend is the last in Phoenix--a very hip city, I dig you--and I will try to get and post pics of some of the sights I'll miss, along with rock-climbing pictures when I go climbing for the last time Sunday.
Then Monday night I am flying into Portland Oregon and will visit Bianca in Eugene for several days. After that it's up to Redmond to visit Jonas. Then back to Phoenix, drive 1400 miles to Lincoln, move in with Drewsky in our new apt. I am getting all newsy here. Sunday before classes start Drew & I'll be in St. Louis at the Radiohead concert. At some point I'll settle down to my last semester as old greybeard 5th year veteran last semester at UNL.
