This post is titled in honor of Reid's mother, who loves The Doors. I've been listening to Alice Cooper's radio show on weekday evenings, which he broadcasts out of Phoenix, and I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan. Still don't like his music, but I like his style.
So, big news in my life #1: Melvin died this past Sunday, an event which I anticipated as I was watching him the night he took a turn for the worse. Those of us who worked for him and, I believe, his family as well were ready for him to go, since his last month of existence had become pretty miserable for him and, to be honest, fairly miserable for us, too. He was a solid, albeit somewhat stereotypical Christian, and I'm sure he's having a much better time these days. This also means that I get to sleep at night, which is great!
Big news #2: Started my tutoring job this week. It's a good job and I like the kids I'm working with, but it's also stressful beyond all reason as they've dumped about 10 students on me to work with for 6 hours a day, each of them needing a fair amount of personal attention. Once I get used to the system, I'm sure things will get easier, but for now I'm really savoring the time I have in which I am not working.
Big news #3: Went out for teppan yaki the other night, which is the Japanese dining experience in which they have a flat skillet-type surface on which they cook your food right in front of you, with lots of juggling of knives and spatulas and several fire explosions. It was pretty awesome. You should try it sometime.
Tomorrow I'm going to pick peaches. I'm pumped for that because I love peaches. And picking.
I miss people that I don't see every day. Namely almost all of you that read this.

I always wanted to go to Alice Cooper's restaurant in Phoenix. I'm not sure why. Probably b/c of his Wayne's World cameo.
