6 am. Saturday morning. Sitting in Pickering Tully's listening to Frank Zappa's "ThingFish" and writing code for a C# implementation of the Twofish cipher. I'm just noodling around. This is definitely going to be the slowest code going, but at least it will work and I'll understand a bit more.
My sister-in-law is in town this weekend, as if my kids need any extra spoiling.
I found out yesterday some friends of ours are pregnant and the baby is going to have Down's syndrome. Can you imagine getting that news? Sitting there, excited to be pregnant, waiting for the Doctor to tell you everything looks great. Then, the long pause... probably followed by that concerned, caring look. Wow. I have no idea how I would cope with that.
