Profunksticated writes this post from Ocean City, Maryland, where he is doing a short vacation with the extended family. I finally had that long talk with my brother about how he’s coping with being a widower. He’s doing as well as he can be. He says that his older son was sad since this is the first vacation they’ve been on without his mom, who passed away three months ago. Along with my brother, I’m here with my parents, my two sons, two nephews and my sister. My dad’s improved, but he’s still tired. They will be here through July 5.

Meantime, I’ll only be here until later today, when I head back to the D.C. area, Alexandria, Virginia, to be exact, for yet one more interview on Wednesday. Again, we’ll see what happens. I’m still awaiting decisions from the other three firms I’ve talked to.

I know I’ve been blessed but I don’t always act like it. Remember The Spouse’s Uncle F? Among the things he left for my mother-in-law was a car, a 2002 Buick LeSabre Custom. My mother-in-law gave it to us after having a GM dealer give it the proper repairs. It had been garaged for a year and a half and has less than 25,000 miles. I drove it down here to Maryland and it rides real nice. This car is one of the few things of value we’ve owned free and clear. I’ll be the one driving it, mostly around Washington, of course.

Thanks, Mom and rest in peace, Uncle F.
