(i went to go visit my dad yesterday while he was at work, since yesterday was the anniversary. i didn't say why, because there's still the being able to talk about it without crying issue. but i was in the neighborhood, having just seen my doctor who is nearby (i have bronchitis. did i mention that?) so i stopped down and talked with him and admired the fine handout for his class that he had made in latex which is a cool markup language that i do not understand at all except by extrapolation to html which i understand only marginally.)
