After a long weekend of snow and cold..
After a long weekend of working out in the cold nailing up little blue boxes...
No no... not the Tardis
But these little buggers..
But anyways... this weekend was pretty crazy... I was working pulling cat5e's in a crazy snowy weather weekend. ?So after about 2 full days of working on cable pulling... today I am out sick.
But I will be fine... I think it is just a little cold... I will get some rest tonight and I will be fine.
Snowing in late April!!!
So... they say it's going to snow this weekend... but we all thought it was going to be some rain mixed slush... but WOW... take a look!!!!!
Oh ... exciting Wednesday!!!
So ... Few exciting things today...
I am on The Evergreen State College campus today. I am just finishing up my survey work here. my left ankle is bothering me a bit... I hope it is nothing serious. But at least I have good shoes on today.
But what is exciting today is that Fring released a iphone version. It is an early pre-release, but it shows alot of potentials.
www.fring.com
BTW Fring is a smart phone IM client that supports all major im networks including voice chats for skype and msn. Oh and it supports SIP calling too!!! Woo hoo!!!
Exciting weekend...
So This weekend was pretty exciting right? I had an extended weekend because of a minor oral surgery which I undergone. Don't worry... everything is great... I am now bionic... ha ha ha... just kidding...
But so.. Friday... I took my Mom to Mt. Vernon to see some flowers. It was not too bad, however, it could have been better. This year, the tulips are blooming a little bit late.
So as you all know that we had a bit of a scare on Saturday, but what was really interesting was that when we were at the ER, I was wearing my Auburn Baseball cap. I got some interesting comments.
First, the triage nurse said that ... "oh you are from Auburn?" I replied "yes". Then, the xray nurse said that he grew up in Mobile, Alabama and his dad taught a the University of Alabama for a bit. We chatted a little about Auburn Vs Alabama... yeah... 6 in a row... ;)
Now the most interesting thing was when the ER doctor said, "Did you go to Auburn?" and I said "yes" and he replied... "so did I". "Oh my gosh!!! WAR EAGLE" I shouted!!!... I could not believe it... it was amazing that the doctor that was treating my mom was an Auburn Grad!!!!
UPDATE
Thanks for everyone's prayers. My mom is fine. ER cleared her yesterday. No major problems at all. She will be heading back to Auburn today. woo... what a relief.
Today was suppose to be my mom's return to Auburn. Unfortantely, my mom was feeling a bit incomfortable, so we postpone her flight back and I took her to the hospital. So I am here in ER waiting as they run series of tests. I hope everything is ok. Everyone please pray. Thanks!!
On a different note, I gave an offer for an house. We will see next week if that goes any where.
Back in to Tennis
So tonight... I get a chance to play tennis again. Well.. ok not really playing tennis but taking tennis classes. Yeah... it's been many many years since I took a tennis class. I noticed that I am not as fast as I use to be, but I will get there again. The classes reminded me alot of my tennis classes that I took in high school. Now price is a lot higher and the class is mostly asian. That is a huge difference from my classes in Alabama. All in all it was pretty fun. I can't wait to start playing full matches again. Oh that will be so fun...
