Homeward Bound!

    I found a few minutes during the work night to take a break and post the blog. It was particularly rough work week for me, as the combination of Mom's health troubles and working far from home don't seem to leave much time to catch up on sleep. I'm hoping to recoup my energy on this break tho. At work, there's a facilities shutdown next week, and folks are being encouraged to take time off. Since I don't have any time, I'll be at work trying to stay awake... Lotta walking, pacing, and trips to the water cooler, I guess.

 

    Today's featured CoD4/Modern Warfare 2 vid is a compilation of 'Seriously?' moments by jx23. The second vid is an impressive 1 on 6 Clutch/Ace by Smith262. Moving on...
