My mom is in the cardiac care unit now. She was getting close to being released for the breathing issues, but they wanted to look closer at things from the first scan. She's got an aortic anuerism. The docters will be doing a angiogram tomorrow some time. I will be updating as I can for the course of the treatment.

Or Bad Karma takes over Las Vegas.

My paintball team, www.teambadkarma.com , recently went to Las Vegas, NV for a paintball scenario called Casa Grande II. It was held in Northern LV at a location that is rumoured to be the former residence of a drug lord. It's now in the process of being demolished, but it was still standing for that one last day.

Your humble journalist was able to participate in this game, and there is photographic evidence to prove it...

I had a blast, even if I was having equipment problems all day long.

Tonight I got news that one of my oldest family friends, Jim B, died today. He was a registered clown, who brought happiness and smiles to countless children. He was a very good friend, and a great man.

Jim, I'll forever miss you. You are gone too soon.

I am really excited about the new job. I've been there for three days and it already feels like home to me.

The work is good, the pay is good, the atmosphere is pleasant. Things are looking up.

I will effectively be AFK for the next week or so as I move across the country.

Tomorrow morning, before dawn, I will embark on a cross country trek of epic proportions. I will be traveling over 2300 miles as I drive from Raleigh to Salt Lake City. It will be an adventure for sure.

Wish me luck on the trip, I may need it.
