Greeting.

So here I sit at work, roughly 2:30pm, seven inches of snow in a very late April and still falling. It won't really stop snowing in Colorado until May is through. It can be depressing at times, especially with such short summers too.

I live in Boulder, home of soy, tofu, and filtered water. Some of the people can be a bit odd, but it's not so bad really. The mountains are beautiful, especially in late spring before the grasses have turned brown from lack of rain and too much heat.

We're in the midst of "Employee Appreciation Week" here at the office; on Wednesday I got an Apple iPod Shuffle as a gift. I've found myself resisting technology recently for some strange reason, but I gave it a shot and I like it a lot. I'm not sure I have much use for it, but.

I just got back to my desk from watching a movie here at the office. They picked "The Incredibles", which I've seen twice already. It's a decent movie though, and a nice treat. They provided lunch, half a Subway sandwich. lol.

It was my sister's birthday yesterday. She's 29 now I think. I haven't seen her in over two years, or any of my family for that matter-- they live in West Virginia. I sent her a card (belatedly), which is good for me because I usually don't, and a check for $100 to help her out.

I have a son who is four years old. His mother and I have been separated since before his birth, although we've tried working it out numerous times since. Stupidly, ridiculously, I've found myself under her spell again. I already know it won't work, but I can't seem to stop myself.

My life and job are bittersweet. Good to meet you-- more in the coming days.
