    USB Dad updates, Vocanic Storms and Obama

    Friday, April 3rd, 2009

    Good news, my father is improving. His heart rate is behaving and becoming slowly disconnected from the USB cables.

    For those who read the posting about Volcano Redoubt doing its funky electrical storm thing. Hig who took the photos has posted up some of the science of why you get electrical storms during volcanic eruptions.

    News is circulating that Obama has been depressed and distant after the finale of Battlestar Galactica. I understand his pain!

    Hearts and Minds

    Saturday, March 28th, 2009

    Firstly apologies for those few who have been awaiting the next journal update with clenched anticipation (few being the word). It’s been a manic few days since Thursday when I had a job interview of which I failed. But that’s OK, I went for the experience as much as the potential to progress and other doors may open yet.

    My father has headed into hospital so they can cut abit of his heart out to help the blood flow, a strange time indeed. It was known to be coming for many months, but when the go ahead was announced there was little time for it to sink in.  I saw him yesterday as I escorted my mother to London to be with him for a next few days. Whilst I have a good sense of confidence in surgery today and the fact the surgeon is one of the best in the world today, I still worry and understandably so.  So my thoughts go out to my parents and thanks to the Heart Hospital in London for looking after him so well.

    The knock on effects of times like these is thoughts on one selves mortality and the important things in the life. So many things to worry about out there and so many things that have made us step back when we should step forward. But they are small and its good to remember beyond the 9-5 and mortgages that we are alive and there is a world out full of wonders and moments.

    So as I listen to Battlestar Galactica Season 3 Soundtrack for the frak knows how many time (it is good thought music though) and rebuild my Fathers computer for his return, I will sign off and post again in a few days.

    PS: I have removed a not working comment security gizmo thing, so you should be able to comment now. Time to see if anyone is wanting to comment now! eeek!
