Here I Am Again

Hi Guys. I'm home from work sick (half-day). I can't seem to relax enough to just sleep though. Seems like every time I get a virus lately it's one of those "on the fence" sorts of experiences. I'll be kind of fine, and then kind of not, etc. Just blah and achy with a sore throat and foggy head. Anyways, the show must go on. And by show, I mean the Keith Urban show Katie and I are going to with Bob and Bek tonight. Right now I'm polishing my cowboy boots with one hand any typing with the other. Katie and I had a great time while we were visiting, despite Katie's medical issues. She's been to the dentist a couple of times since then. I always have hope that after "this time" things will begin to get better. Strangely, coming home solidified my reluctant love of Florida. It has been perfect here the last couple of days, with high temps at about 80 and night temps "just right." If only we had some more windows to take advantage of that. Being on the bottom floor, it's not really a good idea to leave everything open. I was sad to see Syracuse looking so dreary and run down. Katie and I were astonished at all of the abandoned brick buildings along I-81, and we still look at each other and look forward to the day when we'll be able to reclaim and convert a building like that into great living spaces. Meaghan, how's the college essay coming? Gabe, how's being team captain going? Mom & Dad, how's the Orchid? =) I hope it won't be too hot when you all come down here, given that it's already pushing 80 during the day (though I think that's a bit unusual). Weather like this really makes you lament having to be indoors all day! That's all for now. Stay warm and get some sunshine when you can!
