Nice dinner

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Got a surprise break away from the world of computers this evening. Some very dear friends of ours decided to have a surprise dinner a couple of days early for my birthday. Thank you, Mary and Howard, for a wonderful treat, and thank you, Angela for helping to arrange it.

They have just returned from a road trip to Texas to see Howard’s son, and talking to them got me pretty jazzed for the roadtrip to Gnomedex and beyond! (I have the whole week after the conference off work, I am planning the great tour of the Midwest! Stops in Des Moines for the Gnomedex festivities, Fargo, to see Jen, Nathan and new baby, and other stops to be determined. I’m still working out the details, but I can’t wait!)

And now, I need some sleep. I’ll catch up with the tech world in the morning!

    You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days. I may just have to re-institute a 2-3…

    Playing catch up after being gone for the funeral. Hundreds of items in Bloglines to look at, dozens of emails to answer, a few work issues that need resolved immediately, probably a handful of podcasts to get caught up on, etc. I’m still glad I was able to go be with Angela and her family…
