It’s 11:45 at night and I’m just sitting down to write. I’m that the pace of my life is accelerating to the point that I’m ‘full’ again just like I was before Sam’s accident. I’ve been trying to be very good about not letting work take over my life again.. In fact, I have not worked at home after hours since Sam died. I’ve tried to reserve every home hour either to my family, or to myself to do personal/healing stuff like blogging. These last two weeks my day job work load have crept up to the point that it’s getting hard to keep that promise to myself. I have a couple of important pieces of work to get down this week.. yet my days are full of meetings.. . I used to rely on late nights to get things like that done . Now I’m not sure how I’m going to make this work. Several times tonight I picked up my laptop with the thought of doing some work.. and each time something family oriented came up. .First we had another plumbing crisis (our septic system appears to be shot.. sewage in the basement again.. ewwwwwww).. Looks like well have to replace the spetic system.. which is a bummer because that will probably exhaust our cash reserves.. The joys of an old house.
  The next time, I got a better offer.. which was to watch Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny for the second time with Gabe.. (it’s totally idiotic , horribly obscene, vile, pointless and funny as hell.. it’s Jack Black at his best/worst.. perfect for 11 and 48 year olds).. The third request was to create some lettering for a new version of a Sam Cohn T-shirt . Diane asked me to scan some of Sam’s writing to write Sam’s name and some other stuff.. I ended up finding enough text to build up the complete alphabet.. Since I’d done that I went ahead and created a TrueType font of it. Now I can write anything I want in Sam’s handwriting.. what a curious thought

It was such an interesting emotional exercise finding each letter of the alphabet in the few pages of text I was using of Sam’s writing. I really stared at each letter. I felt like I was learning more about him by doing this. Now I find it almost midnight and I’m out of day.. out of energy.. and my work for the day is not done.. Tomorrow I’ll start a little more behind.. but I ‘m sure I’ll get some family priority interrupts.. at least I hope I do.. Gnite Sam.-jc
