I'm alone for a few days while Dad is in Los Angeles at a conference, which means I can play the piano as much as I want and play hookey from my other household tasks. We're going to visit Ryan and Rebecca the end of May, Memorial Day weekend, and taking Mom with us. I hope she'll fly out a few days before and stay a few days after.
At work we're celebrating the release of a new enhanced credit report and are blowing up balloons Wed, Thur, and Fri, putting them in bouquets and distributing them around the company. There's a crew of 6 of us doing this, so each morning we fill 300 balloons with helium. It's a fun project and a real change from sitting in a cubicle. Afterwards, we're treated to juice and bagels or muffins or croissants.
One of the new things I'm learning about at work is how to use XML (extensible markup language)files in SAS. XML is related to HTML, which you all know and love. I read XML For Dummies as a start. It's really hard to keep up on technology! Grandma says she's giving up and is not getting an iPod even though she knows it's cool.

it's nice to have "me" time---you play that piano all night if you want!!! :-) and when you're done, get me a piano :-) just kidding. don't get too lonely. And don't get crazy from the helium. love you!
Yeah, how much helium are you and your coworkers "sucking" while you fill the balloons :) Makes conversations more lively to breathe the helium!
Grandma may not be getting an Ipod because they are old news... she needs a cell phone/PDA/mp3 player combo. (don't we all need that) :) kidding kidding....
although on a serious note... how come no one comes to visit me? Are we not cute enough? I miss you guys!
