Secret Smile

Humans, man. Since my entry of a week ago, Dad has made four trips from the GE aircraft engine plant near Cincinnati to Chicago. Says he's feeling no more pain than his normal managed level, and since he's able and weather allows, he's going to make some money. He called yesterday morning, and asked if I was going to Liberty this weekend; when I told him that I had other plans, he sounded horribly disappointed. So, I shuffled some things around, and will take him and Mom out for dinner Saturday to celebrate their anniversary - 49 years!

Submitted my application for degree this morning. This is really happening. Lot of work between now and the end of April, but I got this. I don't know what's next, but I'll be ready for it.

No class tonight, so there are a few extra quality hours to knock out assignments and get a couple of other projects underway.
