Perspective.

I had a down weekend. Its because I started another assignment in Madison, this time the location is on the Southwest side which places it another half-hour (at least) from home. So, I stay in town. I was not and am not particularly keen on this. The fact the Empress does not drive makes it tougher, so she had to take a cab to work and the bus back from work (or get a lift from someone else, but to work is tough).

However, last night while getting some dinner I noted a friend's husband was assigned to Philadelphia, another friend just said goodbye to her son who is in Mississippi training for duty in–Iraq. When it comes right down to it, Madison isn't that bad.

Still...
