I&#8217;m thinking about making an origami mobile for them &#8211; maybe something with fish since their new dad likes fish and aquariums quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, I hit the still very cold and surprisingly busy pool for a swim  &#8211; and made it to a 1\/2 mile.   I&#8217;ve done this once before &#8211; but not during my regular lunch time.   I was pretty tired when I finished up, but I made it through.   And then I had to face a cold shower since the facility was, once again, without hot water.   Irksome &#8211; and itchy since I couldn&#8217;t get the chlorine off of me during my brief rinse off.<\/p>\n<p>One of my co-workers got some bad news this past week &#8211; one of his his good friends died suddenly.   The service, and tribute concert for the former musician, was yesterday.  My co-worker and I talked about this a bit &#8211; he hasn&#8217;t experienced much death and I don&#8217;t know if anything I said did any good.  I&#8217;m hoping the service and the concert helps him deal with things a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found myself dealing with more crazy people recently &#8211; and for a while I almost started to get used to them.   I was, for a short while, finding myself on their wavelength &#8211; i.e. they almost started to make sense.   Thankfully, I&#8217;m back on track and I&#8217;m annoyed by them again.  So much so that I wanted to have a rubber stamp made with the word &#8220;CRAZY&#8221; on it.  I could then walk around and label people on their foreheads as a warning to others.  Sort of like a mission &#8211; though I suspect I would quickly run out of ink.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s it for now&#8230; I&#8217;ll try to update more frequently&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-8421080905322256328?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two posts on the same day?
