Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Last night when I came home. I was holding Hanna for a bit, and she had leaned her head on my chest and was sucking on her finger, and I don't know if she drooled a bit, or if her finger was wet, but there was a small wet spot on my shirt. When Hanna saw that she pointed and said "soaking wet". ha, well, not really soaking wet.

Last night before he went to sleep, John crawled in bed with us, and he was doing the cutest thing. I had got him this JayJay book, where JayJay's friends hide behind clouds, and the page says something about the friend, a clue about who they are, and then you pull open the cloud flap and see who it is. Well, John was making up his own little thing about Thomas trains. He'd say "who's behind the cloud, he is red with three wheels... It's James the Red Engine!" so funny

This morning he crawled in with me again, and he was making up his own song about something, birds or something and he just kept going and going, kinda changed the tune around, hit the high notes, quite funny..

Last night we were upstairs in the hallway, and John heard something, so he kinda crouched down, and cupped his ear with his hand, and said "I hear a dragon!" It was a jet or something going overhead outside. Ha, how does he know about dragons?

I'm looking into a masters program in software engineering at the U of M. They have a two-year program for working people, where you go to class two Fridays a month, something like that. I wouldn't be able to get another masters if I had to quit work and go fulltime, but this way I could do it. I think it would help my career. My employer would reimburse some of the tuition, and encourages that sort of thing if it is in your job area, which it obviously is.
