Move over James, Borga is back home again

The end of this week finds me going home to Augusta (home to the funky soul singer James Brown) solo to be with my Mom and Dad. As I have mentioned, Daddy Cap has been going through a rough time with his health. This past week has been quite rough as he was in th emergency room twice. The latest episode involved his foley. This was accidentally removed and not replaced. Dad had so much pain in his bladder that he asked Mom to go into the ER which is so unlike Dad. The goal for this week is to focus on getting his bladder infection resolved and getting his health back so he can start his treatment for bladder cancer. I must say, he looked very good last night. I was able to have breakfast with him this morning despite jumping in/out of conference bridges and IM chats for work. We had very nice conversation and it was nice to have him ask how things are going with Jennifer and I with respect to our transition.

I am quite happy to work from my parents home even though it gets crazy. Jennifer is quite amazed at how I have this uncanny ability to stay focused with so much going on around me but I guess that is the life of a software engineer. It also helps to have an IPhone with radio tuner that plays really cool radio stations from around the world ;-). I am almost looking forward to the slower pace of life when we go to Germany. Who knows maybe when I land my next software gig, it will be the same. It will be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference. At least I will have the opportunity to have a beer with my lunch.


Tomorrow I am hoping to get Dad out into some fresh air and out of the house. I am also hoping to patron my favorite little eating establishment in downtown Augusta, the Blue Sky Kitchen. You would probably stay clear of any restaurant that serves both Korean bbq and classic Southern dishes but the quality is good and consistent across all dishes in this place. Jennifer and I really enjoy eating there and love to visit downtown. Perhaps I might go with my sister Antoinette and her boyfriend Robert.
