it's cool to love your family.

Because the last post was so specific, I felt I should also include a brief update for my family.

Winter was here for a few minutes last week... and now, like a fleeting thought, it's gone again.  We lost power, school was closed for two days, and overall it was probably the worst storm I've been through here.  The Valentine's Day storm a few years back was bad, but at least we had power that time.

I'm not sure how much I trust the Farmer's Almanac anymore, and I realize that I've had far too much faith in the past in a weather report given by a small brown rodent.  Here in Vermont, it seems everyone has a theory on why the winter has been so fickle these past few years.  Most just chalk it up to global warming, but I've met my fair share of skeptics, and I appreciate their passion for alternate theories.  Either way, I'm ready to get out of this state for a while.

I'm still enjoying my internship.  I feel much better about it this week since I've actually accomplished something substantial now.  We'll see where it goes I guess.  Still working on the job search.  I have an interview in Boston next Friday, and I'm really hoping it pans out.  I'd have to live at home, but it would be nice to have some time at home again.

Today is a work day... writing some papers and cleaning the apartment.  Went for a run this morning... the air is still a little cold for my lungs, but we're getting there.

I got a new tattoo recently as well.  It's a small infinity symbol on the veiny part of my wrist.  It's covered by my watch for work purposes, but it's a reminder not to walk through life in a straight line to avoid ending up where I started.  It'll have to be touched up in a couple of weeks, but I'm really happy with it.
