Like a Bird Without a Feather

...what the thunderstorms are to the air.
Friedrich von Schiller

Yeah, so drove to Peoria this morning to see some family and especially my great grandfather.  Had evening plans for hanging out and some going out w/ Peoria/Bradley friends.  It all fell through.  Every.Single.Detail.  By 1 am, I had no one to go out with, nor a place to crash.

It was nice to see some people during the day though.  And me and my mother are making good progress on getting along, accepting her faults, and just trying to be a son and her a mother. It is nice.  More than nice.

I got to give Allison her little present.  I love giving gifts.  She reacted well and I think she'll really enjoy it.  So, that was good.

I also now have a Sam Adams specially crafted glass.  I love it. MMmmm beer.

An update tomorrow on the past week.
