Weekend Update

1) My thoughts and prayers are with the people of London, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks there on July 7th, and it's my hope that their recovery and justice prevails swiftly for them.

2) My thoughts and prayers are also with the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama, as it gets slammed with a Category 4, Hurricane Dennis, today.

3) My kitten Tabitha was taken into the vet for another round of shots, etc., and we weighed her. Previously, she was 4 lbs. and 11 ounces. Now she's 5 lbs. and 10 ounces. She gained a pound (more than 20% gain) in less than 2 months! How would you like it if you gained like 40 pounds in 2 months? But she's doing alright.

4) Had my first performance evaluation in my new job as a Special Payments Analyst at the UMWA H&R Funds. Nothing exciting of note, execpt it does look like they intend to redefine the role a little to take advantage of my training in pension processing. **Twirl finger in air** Still, it's good to get feedback.

5) I'm not great at blog template design, but I'd like to tweak this format a little. Any suggestions?
