nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;  Thanks to all for the kind words and thoughts for my mom.
nbsp;  Her surgery was Tuesday ( exactly 2 months after the original date,  weird)  and everything went very well. nbsp;
 I spoke with her doctor that evening and he seemed very positive about the procedure. nbsp;  She goes back to have it programmed in 5- 6 weeks. nbsp;  Nifty,
 nifty little device.  Theres only one more week of work left! nbsp;  Technically,  my last day isnt until the 11th,  because I decided to take my remaining vacation days rather than cash them out,
 but Ill only pop in for a few hours that day. nbsp;  That is by no means to say that Im doing real work nowrather,  Im staying entertained and perpetuating the myth that I might be doing something productive by spending gratuitous amounts of time on the resurrected UCB. nbsp;  As I write this,
 Im about 15 posts away from the current post leaderwhich Im not sure is an honor. nbsp;  Ah well,  thats how it goes when youre winding things down at work. nbsp;  Especially on a Friday.
nbsp;  A slow Friday. nbsp;  & nbsp;
