So Karen is still sick. Sick everyday--it gets old, but probably more so for her than me. Not much is going on with us besides that. I think with Karen sick and there still being a sort of Holidays hang-over when it comes to being just plain busy all the time, we're just relaxing and spending time with each other. That's not a bad thing either--I've been getting home pretty late from training recently too--so it's been good.
We've decided to go to D.C. and Petersberg, VA for vacation this Spring. We're going to spend some time with my brother, Dan, before he shoves-off to Iraq. I have always been interested in the cultures of the Middle East and I would love to visit Iraq someday--just not today. We will pray for his and others' safety daily. It sure makes the War seem a lot more real and not just some daily Nightly News event. I realized how used to something you can get--even something like the war--as terrible as that really is.
Before I wax too thoughtful, I'll end.
Some sad news--devastating, really--hit me last week. Audioslave broke up. The last of the real rock bands is now no more. To end on "Revelations" isn't so good either. Why aren't there any more good rock bands out there? Not that there's not any rock music. Just that the stuff out there is too pre-fab. Well, I'll keep searching--I'll never give up. The silver-lining of the news is that Chris Cornell will be releasing a new solo album soon. At least there's a silver-lining...

Poor Karen. Tell her we're thinking of her and hope she feels better really really soon.
Love ya!
There is always one way ... go Orchestral/Operatic!! All the cool people are doing it (me), and best part is: your kids will be smarter for it, too (tested and proven)!
Hope K gets better. I wasnt as sympathetic w/ Jay as i was her first pregnancy -- unless she needed Doritoes or Ben and Jerry's -- then i felt her pain too and was back from WinCo in 15 minutes. :D
My music tastes have mellowed over the years but I still hold onto Weezer, BareNaked Ladies, I think Karen doesn't like them, and REM. And Dan will still mention U2, there is still hope. As for new ones I like the Killers and the Frey.
