This collection of entries is from November 16, 2002.
Today we went to my cousin Kathy's to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. Now, with Dad feeling the way he is, we knew he wasn't gong to go. He always had a low tolerance for kids, and that just advanced with his age. Now, with the Cancer, there's just no reason to put him through that. But what was surprising is that Dad said Mom should go. So Carol & I drove into the city to pick up Mom and drove out to Hawthorn Woods.

My entries have been sparse. I feel like I'm in a downward spiral... I've got nothing to say because I've got nothing going on in my life. No job, so I don't commute regularly and see things to comment on, no coworkers to comment on their behavior. It's only Carol and me at Home (and, well, Indy too), so I can't comment too much on siblings or children, and, though I love Indy very much, she doesn't do too many things out of the ordinary. I comment about the Reality TV shows that I watch, so so much for television. That leaves the odd things around the internet (which are more scary than I expected) or comment about current events which is even scarier. I mean, you get your ambiguous terrorist threats to hospitals in Chicago (where the hell did that come from???) or how about the new "spectacular attacks"? I need to get busy. I need a job. I need to get out in the world.
