Today is a mixed bag for me. A very interesting mixed bag. On the good side, I’ve got three good things this morning.

Good thing number one is that I got a birthday gift this morning! Even though my birthday isn’t for two more days. Actually, I also got a gift yesterday in the mail, from the Parker clan in upstate New York. Since I know Katie reads my blog, I’ll thank them here, because they rock. Gift cards for video games are always an A+ in my book!

Anyway, good thing number two is that I have a soccer game tonight. Thursdays are almost always better than the previous three weekdays, not only because it’s so close to the weekend, but because I get to play soccer that evening.

And good thing number three that… Well, it’s better than #2 but I can’t decide if it can beat out #1. But without further ado… I’m under 200 pounds! It’s taken me a little longer to get here than I’d have liked, but I have finally broken under the 200-pound barrier. It’s been awhile since I’ve been under 200 and I’m very happy now that I’m here. Hopefully Morton’s on Saturday won’t break that.

And now… For the bad news. The Vice President of Software Development here at my work is, well, no longer here. He was a really good guy and I liked him a lot. Looked up to him in many respects too. I’m pretty bummed that he’s not here anymore. I don’t really know the reason why he’s gone, but I’d rather not speculate. It’s a big downer because he was very well-liked here among the developers. Kinda sucks.

So that’s my mixed bag for the day.
