My Dad is in surgery today for his prostate. Hopefully it will go smoothly and quickly, and he will fly through it with no problems. Good luck Dad. I love you.

Jen and I had a good weekend planting and working. We found a pair of boxwoods, a butterfly plant and bought a bunch of dirt at Lowe’s, and planted it all, as well as repotting the crepe myrtles. Unfortunately I think we’re going to lose one of them—it fell over on its side and cooked for a while before I got home and righted it, so all the leaves are shriveled and unhappy.

Through my buddy Tim, I found this site, which has a really interesting primer on relational databases.

Update: Dad is out of surgery, doing well.
