11. That's pretty cool.
He left a pretty good legacy then huh?

In his academic/work acheivements and in his lovely family (well, don't know about the rest of your family but I'm sure they are as lovely as yourself).

13. Yes, he left a good legacy
even though his academic achievement can only be valued by very few people.

But he is remembered and valued very much by his family. In 3 weeks he would have turned 61. My aunt sent me a bunch of newspaper articles their mom collected when my dad won the medal at the International Mathematical Olympics.

39. LOL on the bathroom.....
...they've come back for the third time to re-grout it. We've waited for about 5 days before using it - AGAIN - to make super sure it has dried. We'll see. We've both lost our sense of humor with the contractor who did it...:-(

41. Problem is.....
...he's already got our money, so it would just cost me more money to go with someone else. However, he is tied up on other projects with my family, so I do have leverage over him. If it isn't right this time, I'll make him do it again.

Yeah, I decided I'd best go into work today. I did some stuff via e-mail yesterday and my stand-in boss called me a crabby bear! :rofl: I do know that I'm going to be swamped and pay dearly for my laziness yesterday. But truly, I just had to take a day off. I'm calling it a mental health day. :rofl:

47. I can't imagine
life without reading. It's that important.

Seeing there's published authors in your family, have you ever thought about writing? I do all the time, but I do a lot of writing for my job, and swear I use up all of my creative juices there.

I've got a couple of stops to make on my way to work, so I'll be heading out.

Wishing you a great day, and be chatting with you soon.
