Robot (Kat) Report
I am so excited to be back after a nice, long break full of friends, shows, books and movies! Seriously, it went by fast but when I look back it feels like the couple of weeks was actually a month.... so that's awesome. I've managed to stretch time.
Speaking of time, Stephen Hawking turned 70 on this Sunday past. This really baffles me. I mean, he has ALS, he's a genius and he's still going pretty strong. Amazing.
Anyway, this weekend coming up is art's birthday and there are a lot of cool arty things happening downtown. I don't know what to expect. Well, I know there'll be birthday cake and do I really need anything else? No.
I guess I'll leave it at that. I look forward to talking to everyone later this week. Please note that my tracking hours have changed a wee bit. I'll be doing tracking Thursdays 10-5 and Fridays 10-Noon (MST). Please make the appropriate changes. Thanks!
