Sorry, all the junk going on distracted me.

Anyway, while I was at work the kids were playing out in the backyard. My wife came inside for about five minutes. Now you'd think this is no problem because we have a six foot high wooden fence around the yard with a locked gate. However, when she went back outside Leif was nowhere to be seen. My wife and Emaryn looked all over for him, but couldn't find him in the backyard. So they took off in the minivan and found him about 3 houses down the block. The first thing he said when they found him is "I'm having an adventure!".

Pretty scary (not as much for me since I didn't know abou t it while he was missing), but the "I'm having an adventure!" still cracked me up.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm just not the person that LA Boss wants in this job in this office. I think.

Hec, what is the outside chance that they are going to promote you, or transfer you to another job, and the boss can't tip that hand, either?

Even a 5% chance of something else is still something to hope for.

OTOH? I've felt the winds of change on more than one occasion, and should have started the job search much earlier than I did, so I can't be a good barometer.

I'd like to think I could hold my head up high and keep working with dignity and negotiate my dismissal (Without trumped up reasons, for god sake) package with more dignity and grace then the asshats.

I can dream....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Part of me wants to cheer for Leif escaping the usual bounds, and yet remaining safe and confident in his Adventure. Other part? Very glad he's safe.

Little dude has no fear whatsoever. Except for clowns.

What Andi said, Gud. I love the thought of the "Adventure!" but the fact he got out of the backyard, eep!

I guess I'm thinking they might be waiting for Hec to do something Craxy from the stress and rumors, so they will have a reason to trump up.

So, Gud, what are you going to put over the backyard to keep him in? (I remember the crib.)

The plan is to always have an adult in the backyard when he's out there. Either that or a twelve foot fence.

Dude, don't tell Cindy that story. I'm still a little freaked out from that time.

Oh I forgot, when my wife found him, he had our mail. Apparently he stopped by our mailbox on his adventure.
