Briefly

Funny how a few weeks of single-digit temperatures makes anything above freezing feel near tropical. I think I'm going to wear shorts tomorrow to accentuate this. Must enjoy the reprieve since it's supposed to snow'n'stay this weekend.

Tuesday I was surprised to find I'm one of two team leads for this development cycle. I appreciate the challenge and recognition but all it really amounts to is more work. Still feeling daunted since I've never coded any ASP; after some reviews it's not all that bad. Even with the pressure it's exciting to pick up new stuff. That and our software architect's enthusiasm is infectious.

Today would have been my paternal grandmother's 85th birthday. Funny how I see her influence in many of my daily routines. I suppose that's part of how we keep departed loved ones with us.

Listening to ATB's Long Way Home (Starfighter 2 Remix) and I love the refrain: I regret tomorrow more than yesterday.
