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

Whoa-ho-hoooo Nellie, she's-uh cold out there. Some Arctic air came through overnight, temps were around 9 degrees this morning. Plus very windy today, so wind chills are worse. Ugh, and it's March 11 already!!!

Last night at supper, John started jabbering about something, and was laughing. I couldn't quite understand, so I just kinda gave him a high five, and he laughed some more and kept going, and I eventually figured out he was talking about something we had seen on Sesame Street before supper. In the Cookie Monster segment, CM wanted to make a cookie disappear, so he wouldn't be tempted to eat it. So, the magician puppet came, and said his "A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches" and *poof*, there was a big puff of smoke, but the cookie didn't disappear, and they did that a few times, and John thought that was all quite funny. So, at dinner, I realized that's what he was doing, so I said "A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches" and gave him a high five, and John just started laughing as hard as I've ever seen him laugh. We did that a few times, and John's face was red he was laughing so hard. After supper then, he wanted to do that some more. Funny.

The question I have to answer about this masters program is it more suited for managers, testers, analysts, or if it could be of benefit to me as a developer. The program gives a good overview of the entire software development process, but I have no desire to be a manager, so I need to see if this program can help me be a better developer.
