traces of little white stuff...

...began falling from the sky yesterday. i'm not quite sure how to feel about it all. it's a beautiful picture as you watch the fresh flakes hit their target and slowly melt, however it drops the temp about 20 degrees.
the guys of 256 have a photo shoot scheduled today and then we have a meeting later to discuss next steps. it's all coming together slowly.
my Dad sent some money for odds and ends and i had enough to cover a small basketball hoop for BJ to enjoy. it's really something watching him slam dunk that ball and the enthusiasm that goes with it. the goal itself raises as BJ gets taller so he'll likely have fun with it for years to come. i need to get my ass to the store and get some blank video tapes so i can capture some of his latest developments.
i also need to get out to a pet store this weekend and buy a few fish. i cleaned out the tank months ago and took the water sample to petsmart to test it, found out it didn't pass. since then i haven't gone back to see what's come of the tank after adding some other chemicals. i've had an empty tank for several months, not exactly an eye grabber.

i'm ready for the weekend, long days at work this week... very long.
