It's Advent!  It's Christmas in 11 days.

This morning Lila and I attended a special church service at Calvary Lutheran Church (Elgin).  The service celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation.  This is also Mark's 27th birthday - he has moved to Austin and is a software developer at (CACI) TICOM GEOPMATICS.

Long time, no talk-ee .... Mark graduated NIU and is living with the Hill's in Texas while looking for work ... We seldom see Kevin, Janet, and kids ... Ryan is living with almost-divorced woman in Springfield (we are so proud)  ... Ma and Pa White are alone at last in Elgin with deteriorating dog ...

It's Sunday afternoon.  Lila and I have been watching rented "Jesse Stone" movies yesterday and today.  After church Lila, Mark, and I drove out to Dekalb for lunch at tne the newly remodeled Los Rancheros Mexican restaurant.

I stayed home from work yesterday with a cold and am still recuperating today.  Scott Lee (who I have been (more or less) working for at OMRON left early on Wednesday for the first of two eye surgeries.  I felt uneasy taking the day off (thus leaving no-one to cover the inverter lines ... other than Fred and Luc, of course.

Lila is watching (and therefore I am also watching) a series about the British royal family.  Elizabeth-the-Good-ish and Margaret-the-Evil-ish.

I ordered a replacement Tile module to replace my broken one.

Let's see ... Had to work late on Valentines's Day and the attend a voter's meeting at church.  I didn't get Lila amything for V-day until Wednesday.

I THINK that we are finally finished with 6 month's of generating and reviewing worst case analysis documents (WCA) for the FORD V1.5 inverter modules.  Now I need to review a design failure modes and effects analysis document (DFMEA) for the new V2.0 inverter tomorrow ... and I am NOT ready (sigh) ... oh well ...

...more stuff later ...

Just checking in ... no particular news ... FINALLY - got Gang Lin of FORD to sign off on the worst case analysis (WCA) documents for the new Phase 1.5 inverter that Scott Lee I generated ... At church:  Had a Board of Elders meeting last Tuesday, attended evening service for Epiphany on Friday night, served as Elder at this morning's service, and am preparing for the Church Council meeting on Tuesday night ... tonight:  watched a movie about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and am watching The Accountant.
