Well, things are really starting to settle down again at work. I buried the hatchet with Grimma(I guess I should stop calling him that) and I have been at ease ever since. I'm a little worried about my boss though, he is under alot of stress with all the problems surrounding this facility. He wants to make everything right while the big boss is on vacation. But, I'm afraid it is too much for one man to handle. I will strive to help him in any way I can.

This past weekend I helped our landlord bury his dog. We were sitting here at the house when we heard a thump and looked outside to see her in the road. It was very sad, she was a good dog. About once a week she would come over to the house and bark until we came out to play with her. Once I watched her catch a field mouse and eat it in our yard. Then she tried to come over and slobber all over my hand. The kids loved playing with her. She will be sorely missed.

My old employee Bender is set to come here from Seattle. He is a great guy and will bring alot of game knowledge to the staff, which is something we are lacking. He also has experience running games and tournaments which is a great benefit with the bunker. Frankly, I was concerned that he would back out because of family pressure or whatever. But, when I talked to him on the phone the other day he was both resolute and excited about the change. I think change is just what he needs in his life.
