an empty place v3.5

I am finally in a good QA cycle and can take a breath. She Wants Revenge is back in town next week and I really want to go, we'll see what happens. Yesterday afternoon Mike mentioned something about a headline on CNN ("Woman takes sleeping pills, cooked and ate") and how misleading it was. Apparently, she was not the victim of cannabilism but sleep eating. Very disappointing.

Mike mentioned another headline and I completely misunderstood it until I read the article last night. Drug trial goes terribly wrong, six men in intensive care. I thought it meant that during a drug trial (as in, some dealer being prosecuted) six men got sick in the court room. Figuring either a poison/anthrax/delay tactic I looked it up when I got home. Very disappointing.

I have an opportunity this summer to spend a week at a friend's ranch in Washington (the state not the capitol or Denzel), a week in North Carolina with my inlaws (whom I like and are on good terms with), or work on purchasing a new house for $350k. The idea of the house is quickly fading so I am left with the first two options and not going to NC is out of the question. I wonder what will happen this summer.
