Springtime in Ohio
It was 32 Fahrenheit when I got in my car this morning. A thin layer of frost coated the windshield. Welcome to springtime in Ohio. This is to be expected. Later today, 60 and sunny.
My headache is gone, thankfully, and my appetite is back full-strength. I'm on my sinus meds, and I don't take the antibiotic till dinnertime.
SO HUNGRY!
Oh, and our mailserver is down for a hardware upgrade this morning. More ram and a second nic.
Got a comment on here from my entry about my friend Shawn's funeral last year. It was unexpected to say the least, being so long after the fact, but also because I hadn't heard from Shannon (the commenter) in years. I always hear about him through mutual friends. Shannon is a spectacular guitarist who used to front a band in Athens, Ohio, Set On Edge. A discography is here. If you happen to click to their site, make sure to check out the photos... time travel, for sure.
Shannon probably remembers the night when Jen and I got engaged. I know Shawn did. He was sitting behind us... and when Jen said yes, Shawn, in his usual Eeyore fashion, threw up his arms and said "Oh, Joy."
Those were different times, thank goodness. And, although Shawn is gone, Jen has drifted into obscurity, and Shannon now lives a world away, it's fun to remember some of those times. Shawn, I've said before, was one of the most fun (and funniest) people I've known, and when I look back, I smile.
