This Will be the End Today of the Wanted Man, Wanted Man

Here is a picture looking up at a building in the financial district in San Francisco.

You know how I was going to update you about the creepy professor? Well, there's nothing to update. They still haven't found him. The police think his body is somewhere in Hickory Hill Park, but some people think he took off and staged things to make it look like he killed himself there. Hmmmmm.

I'm going to try to be merciful and make this as short as possible tonight. As of August 18th, I've been working for my particular institution for 11 years. Weird, huh? Until I was 26 years old, I'd never lived in any town for over 4 years in a row. I've lived in Iowa City ever since I was 26 - which just happens to be the age I had Coadster. One thing I'll say about having kids, they sure are grounding.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, 11 is the magic year at our institution when I get my vacation bumped up to almost 4 extra hours a month. It's finally starting to add up. So much so, in fact, that I'm giving myself a little treat this weekend. I've decided to take Friday off. Normally, I save my vacation days to do things with the girls, but we've spent tons of time together in the last month. So, I'm taking a "get out of jail free card" day tomorrow. Yippee!

The bad thing is that my XBox is dead (it's giving me the circle of red lights). I talked to FMDM about it tonight and he said I should just call the XBox people and they'll give me stuff to send it in, and then probably give me a new one. Maybe not wasting hours playing Galaga or Beautiful Katamari is a blessing in disguise. Who knows? I might actually get something done tomorrow...But don't go holding your breath.

Okay. I hope you all have great weekends, and that your gaming devices of choice are all working at full capacity and I also hope you don't have anyone in your town go missing along with their high powered rifle.
