misc. updates

1. Jeter broke his record-setting slump with a lead-off home run!!! YAYY!

2. I got an e-mail of apology from my former employers (see "venting now" below). Half-hearted at best, it seems to me. Felt like it was written by a committee to be as bland as possible. Oh well, at least it was something (still working on that whole not-being-bitter thing, getting there...)

3. The littlest boy and I are bonding pretty well. Each day gets a little easier on both of us. He actually looks at me as if he likes me sometimes.
