No easy choices
Wouldn’t it be great if every decision had just two choices, one good and one bad… Then life would be easy. But it turns out life isn’t easy and doing the right thing doesn’t always mean it’s the best thing. I bring this up because Lucy told me that she misses me and wants me to drop her off at school again over the weekend. Due to my new work schedule I cannot drop her off at school and the kids don’t come over mid-week anymore. I explained that I had to work (which is very, very true) and that I would see her on the weekend… But it doesn’t make it less painful to know that your kids miss you and they’re sad. If I had any other option I would have done it so that we could afford to live and I could still see them more often, but that is not the way things have currently worked out… I tried to make it clear, and I hope they understand, that I’d much rather be hanging out with them.
Speaking of hard decisions, I’m trying to figure out how I can still work at CRN… I really love everyone there and have so much fun, but there are so many hours in a day and I seem to use them up pretty quick.
I was let down by the Lost finale. It didn’t explain many to the situations they created throughout the series. It was a very emotional, visually appealing episode, but I just felt it was kind of a cop out… They took the easy way out and left so many things unfinished. What did you think?
I move next weekend, so I’m on super packing mode this week. I actually got a bunch done today. It’s always kind of weird to look at your life all packed up and sitting in boxes.
The kids and I went to a chili cook-off at my sister’s work this weekend. The company she works for, Line 6 , is pretty cool… through good and bad economic times they always throw events for their employees… So many other companies have cut these out, Line 6 has done sized them a bit, but they still do them, I think that says something about them.
The show I’m working on, The Insana Quotient is coming together… We’ve worked out most of the technical bugs, now we can focus on the show more.
Don’t forget, we’ll (Stench and I) be out at Farrell’s in Santa Clarita June 23rd from 7-9pm… Ice cream and Podcast, what more could you want?
Rock On, Jack

I think the lost finale was a cop out too. People said from the beginning that they thought they were all dead and were in purgatory. They should have made them wrong and surprised us with something else… They left a lot of people out of it too. I guess they couldn’t do a story wrapping up Michael and his son because the boy grew up. It didn’t wow me, but I was expecting that. I was listening to last week’s podcast and you mentioned them waking up in a bed with Bob Newhart. Did you tape the Jimmy Kimmel Lost show? It was one of the “alternate endings”! Maybe he stole it from you!

Congrats on the move, I hope it is a better situation than your current apartment. I’m glad you have a lot of activities and work to keep you busy. It always seems, to me anyway, it all happens in droves–alot or very little. Rationale of young children is difficult to reason with.
I’m going to try my very best to come to Farrells is SC! School is out so I won’t be so cranky to manage the southern California freeways! Thanks for the update and glad to hear all is going well.
