Mom and Work and Festival and Things

We had a Memphis Concrète meeting yesterday after work. It was pretty productive. Some exciting things coming for the festival this year. One big relief was recently lifted when Crosstown finally confirm-confirmed the dates. A lot of official stuff now in the bag and a few potentials being worked out currently. After that Mary Beth and I went out to my parents' to visit my mom before she went into surgery today. She had a tumor removed. My dad's reporting that that went well so I expect we'll be visiting her in the hospital pretty soon. Got the official word of my merit increase at work today. It's actually even more than what they originally said so that's very nice. And it goes into effect staring next month. Anyway, I guess that's it for now.
