Mom’s birthday weekend is over, and I think it was a pretty good one, if I do say so myself.  I gave her presents, I took her out to dinner, I fixed her TiVo, and I set up her new cell phone.  In return, she flew me home and back, took me to see a show at the Pittsburgh Public Theater, took me to Gettysburg to see my uncle Norm, and took me to Red Lobster.  A good weekend all around, especially the part where we got to see Norm – I haven’t seen him in at least 6 years, possibly as many as 8.  We had a great time reconnecting over our mutual love of history, photography, and beer.  I blame him for my interest in the first two of those three, the third is Rick’s fault and just turned out to be a bonus.

Pictures were taken, but since I am definitely my uncle’s niece, I completely forgot to get a picture of the three of us (he is legendary for not taking pictures of people – he took about 15 rolls of film during our trip to London in 1989, and exactly one picture out of those 15 was a picture of me because my mother insisted on it).  Pictures should be up on Flickr tonight if I can get my shit together.

Now to get back into the work groove.  For the next three hours.
