It was a bit quiet on the blog this week because I had the big web conference for my contracted work. I have a bit more next week but in general, it's over and I can get back to being Blogger Allie.

My dad died in March of 1998. I was working as an Assistant Manager of an Express, my sister was still in college. It seemed that spring was just about trying to function.
