Well, today is my Dad's birthday. This time last year, we were in Las Vegas, eating at Spago [Wolfgang Puck's place], watching Bette Midler, and walking our tails off visiting the casinos. This picture is of Dad when he was visiting me last May. There is a gap between the top of his head and the beam ... which Mike promptly walked into.
And we have another birthday to celebrate this weekend. I have a new niece, Megan Elizabeth. She was born on Friday afternoon (20 Feb) weighing 6 lbs, 7 oz., 19 inches long. She has curly black hair. Of course, she is beautiful. This is the 6th little Looney, born to Kevin and his girlfriend, Beth. I'll post pictures as soon as I get some.
Other than that, I have been enjoying the end of the snow and the return of the sunshine. I can almost take the dogs for a walk or go for a run in the morning and get to work
at a reasonable time. The credit crunch has hit us at work and we are looking to eliminate 50% of our workforce in the next month. One of our biggest competitors [MUCH bigger that us] eliminated 35% of theirs in December, we learned. For now, I am still here. Might have to move again [oh joy!].

It took me a while to realize why it seemed darker this year, and I've decided that because Misty and Allie weren't here last winter, I wasn't trying to go outside everyday and learned to live with the darkness. So happy it's almost over!
