"You can not help others if they can not help themselves" -Anonymous
Today i face defeat. No matter what i say or do, i can't change it. I've said so much that i've run out of words to say. With silence, comes an end. I will say no more.

The CFO (it was the CFO's office) was working at his desk. He didn't even see it coming. Hit him in the head and someone said they heard him say his back was sore from possibly the tire hitting him. He was standing and alert so he should be fine. Ambulance took him to the hospital to get checked out anyway. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.
And then our crazy CFO decided to come back to work to see the aftermath. After talking to him a little bit, he's perfectly fine with a bruised shoulder and soreness/stiffness. Apparently the car had just missed his head and his right shoulder/upper arm was hit by the driver-side tire. There's even tire marks on his shirt! The driver apparently told someone she was trying to park, but missed the brake and tapped the gas.

Today is the first day Charlie moved into the new house. So while Sar and Ho went to see 27 Dresses, i stayed home watching Charlie and making sure he stays out of trouble and knows the rules of the house. He still gets into a bit of trouble though...
This was a few weeks back when he came for a visit

Not that they're not good. They ARE the 2007 Stanley Cup Champions. It's just that i was a fan when they were the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and they played at the Pond (now known as the Honda Center) and they were owned by Disney.
I wouldn't say i'm still a fan, but i enjoyed myself at last nights game where the Ducks beat the Stars 4 to 2. I scored some pretty nice seats from work and had fun despite missing the first period and leaving 10 minutes before the final period ended.
Would go again if given the opportunity (read: free tickets) :)
