A Lone Man in Indiana

Today is day two of me being alone in the house. Becca’s home from Wyoming for a few more days, and since Beryle isn’t currently up to going with her, Anna decided to pack up the kids and accompany her kid sister to visit family in West Virginia. I really wish I could have gone along, but there’s just no way. We were in New Jersey for Great-Grandma’s funeral, in May; in West Virginia to visit these same family members, in June; I’ll be in California for the FileMaker Developers’ Conference, in August; and we’ll all be back in New Jersey for Grandma and Pop’s retirement party—plus a much-needed vacation—in September. I mean, seriously…. How much more work can I miss? Being my own boss is great, but there comes a time when I have to really be my own boss and put my own foot down, else there’s no way we’ll be able to live!

The nice thing about being home alone is that it’s given me lots of extra time to work on some long-overdue projects (e.g. cleaning up the iPhoto Libraries), and I can even get a good night’s sleep! The bad thing about being home alone is that I really miss my wife and kids.

Solitude is fun, to a point, but I thank goodness they’ll be home, tomorrow! ☺
