i know i'm late, but christopher reeve died. i'm sure most of you know this by now. i was really saddened by it. i mean i knew he was sick and we all have to go sometime ... but he's superman. the ironic thing was after he played superman he really became a super man. strong in his faith, courage, and will to go on. i didn't know much about his personal convictions, but i hope he's in heaven. i can almost see him walking around heaven all day long (for those who don't know, that's a gospel song).

at the office we have a birthday dessert for every employee as their birthday approaches. this usually sparks a conversation about age and getting older. one coworker was mentioning that her grandfather was in his 90's and it was really sad that he was that old because all of his close friends have passed away. i don't think that's necessarily a sad thing. i think it's a blessing to live that long ... and a double blessing to be in a good state of mind and good enough health to know that you've outlived all of your friends. for me each day you live provide an opportunity to do beter, get right, and closer to god. so everyday of life is a blessing to me. now going on to be with the father is awesome, but while you're here you still have time to do the right thing and become a super person. so, it's a blessing to me. although i was informed that i was wrong at work, but somehow i just don't think they'd understand.

so i got my midterm back, and i got a b. i knew that's what i was going to get while i was taking the test. the objective (is that the word i'm looking for? multiple choice/true-false) part of the test was a killer for me. i nailed the essay though, getting all the points. the good news is i hit the class median and i was above the class average. i'll get 'em next time. i'm a better writer than test taker anyway. and we've got several more writing assignments. so i'm not worried.

well it's been a day and i'm exhausted.
