My dad died unexpectedly on Feb 26th. Had a heart attack in his sleep at 6:30am and was gone.Only 61 and seemingly in good health. Exercised basically every day. Weighed 180 or so. Never smoked. He had a physical just 10 days prior, which found an increase in cholesterol up to "borderline-high" levels (229). My mom had a completely normal Saturday with him, and then hours later wakes up to him taking his last breath.

I deactivated my account, not deleted it. I'll probably reactivate it when I get my life sorted out. I just need to disconnect for a while. I'm still going to hang out here. as has been true since my marriage blew up over three years ago, the amount of support I get from the folks around here is truly astounding and humbling (and sometimes comes from some seemingly unlikely people). I've slept more than 3 hours 4 times in the last 17 days, and 0 last night. can't tell if I'm rambling.In the last two months:1. My 7 year old said she was so sad she wanted to move 1000 miles away to be closer to familyx. I suddenly lost a woman I loved who I was prepared to share my life with, and I still have to see her every day at work* I was forced to cut a dear friend out of my lifeiv. My friendship with another close friend is on the rocksq. An amazing career opportunity that I've been working on for years suddenly evaporated14. My job, which I was prepared to leave, is now necessary but has been threatened.Several of these things are made more difficult by the instant access that FB provides into other people's lives. Most of these things were caused by my own short-sightedness.Stu lost his Dad, which is probably going to happen with me soon as well. I don't want to diminish that with run of the mill depression.I have this facebook tracker thing installed.

Yeah, the Moer-Burger. It was my first time there and it's not really my scene, but it was decent to try. I felt like most of the entrees were a bit overpriced ($22 for paella in Cincinnati?) and for me it had a Montgomery Inn meets McCormick & Schmick's feel to it with a touch of a "frat bro's grown old" and business people crowd.ETA - the burger was really tasty though, but definitely order a step below how done you want it. I asked for medium rare and there wasn't any pink in the burger at all.

I had something similar to x. happen to me. Was absolutely brutal to deal with. I went from being a top performer at work to barely cutting it. Devastating. I can't imagine that on top of all the other stuff you're going through. And you're right - the people of this thread are what make it awesome. I've gotten so much support from it over the years, both overt and as a refuge from the stress of my life. GLGB

You watching this? Both pitchers look pretty good, but it could just be terrible offenses making them look better than they are right now. I missed Ichiro's third AB, but starting his season off with 2 infield singles just seems appropriateI can't get up before 7am to work out, but I'll be up at 5am to watch the A's/Mariners in Japan. I'm diseased.It's the best thing ever.Baseball season starts tomorrow

Thanks. Tripod. Black three-legged cat I've had for 10 years. Good guy. Very skittish. Had to isolate him in a bathroom and read magazines to him for ages, and it was years before I could touch him. Had a life full of more happiness and pepperoni than he ever could have imagined, but still just a ##### to have to say goodbye. More worried about his "girlfriend" than I am about anything else; she has lost one companion before she cozied up to Tripod and walked around the house screaming for a year.To Tripod, sweetest and gentlest of cats.

On the lighter side...
That really weird student of mine struck again.
On the board yesterday I had "March 27, 1964: The most powerful earthquake in US history hits Alaska." Strange kid comes into the room and reads the whole thing aloud. Then he says to me "That was in San Francisco, right?".

Camp Malaise - Spring Break Edition
Episode 1 - Scene 1
Upon falling asleep at 1:30am after a night out with two old friends (and by old, I not only mean I've known them since 1996, but they are like Tanner's age or something) at the venerable Cheerful Tortoise across the street from Portland State University, where the Miller High Lifes in a tall-boy can flowed like the Willamette River and the bar trivia was dominated by the three oldest men at the bar by a factor of a bunch yielding such awesome prizes as a pair of Captain Morgan Thongs and another Vuvezalla (sp?), our nefarious leader awoke sharply at 7am on the couch with his pants around his ankles, turned off Showtime, rubbed his sleepy eyes and unlocked the door seconds before his two young sons came barreling in to begin the journey that will be THE MOST EPIC DAY IN SPRING HISTORY BREAK EVER!!!!!!! (that doesn't involve nudity, drugs, donkies, a beach or a monster truck)
To wit: My sons brought over a ginormous stack of old photos that their mother cleaned out and sent over because, as Cooper informed us, "they are duplexes".
There are hundreds of old photos in this stack - pictures that I thought I'd never see again or, more accurately, had forgotten existed. You divorced dads can understand this, especially those old enough to recall the days of "film" and "getting your pictures developed at Rite Aid".
After taking my car into my mechanic down the street at 8am for its 109,321 mile tune-up, I came home and scanned a photo I thought I would share to you all in an effort to spread the fever that is and will be a Ferris Bueller sort of day. Only we'll be using public transportation. Oh, and Cooper has a cough that sounds like he has Coal Miner's Lungs, so I can't wait to see the looks we get from other transportation users. No fever and I just made him use the Neti Pot (should have filmed that) so we'll roll out regardless.
Oh, and I have two stocks up over 10% today and my wife made me coffee before she left. Wining?
