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

A bunch of layoffs around here today. Eek. I'm safe, but quite a few people I know are leaving. This company is not in the best of shape. Most of them weren't developers, a couple were though. So, most of us developers are safe for the time being. But a bummer to see familiar faces go. On a cube wall, they've putting up the nametags of people who have either left or been laid off in recent weeks and months. There are 18 up there now. Man, not good for a company to let that much knowledge and talent walk out the door.

I took the kids to Golf Ball park last night for the first time this year. Looks nice outside today, was to get into the 70s. But otherwise, has still been constantly cool and windy. Erg.
