I'm moments away from heading to the airport and returning to home sweet home. I can't wait.

Ironically, I am indeed eating cereal and using the hotel's Internet access as we speak. I had to use a cup and swizzle stick to eat my cereal, scooping it up like chopsticks. I'd like to think it's in sympathy for my dad's plight, but the reality is that I'm too lazy to go down to the lobby to get a spoon.

I had a terrible headache today, starting small and getting worse throughout the day. We went to the Sister's retreat, which has a number of big meeting rooms. The grounds were beautiful, right on the lake with trees all around. We did our usual meeting stuff, with lots of talking and chatting as a group. Nothing too earth shattering, except some interesting talking points by one of the VPs. Change is afoot.

Afterwards our entire group went out to dinner and stayed there for three hours. We were incredibly loud and had a good time, especially after I popped three asprin and I drank some tea. I think the relief of not being in pain made it all so much better.



I'm heading off to Bellevue tomorrow morning

I'm heading off to Bellevue tomorrow morning. I'm flying out of town tomorrow morning and not getting back until late Thursday. As usual, I'm fairly unenthusiastic about the trip, thinking about the work that will pile up and how we could have done this over the phone. To top it off, I'll miss my family.

Jamie did whisk me away for a nice lunch. It was surprisingly quiet with no kids trying to talk over each other. It took us awhile to come up with anything to say since we tend to be all business when we get a few moments to talk. I'm very much looking forward to our life of leisure when the kids are a bit older.

Well, it looks like I have the best job in America. Software engineers make good money, get to work on cool projects, and are relatively stress-free. Duh.

I was given the chance to go write games for a living at Bioware and turned them down. That's sayin' something.

Awhile back I ran into a woman who was somewhat unkind to me in high school. We exchanged some polite, friendly words and later I remarked to Jamie later that her husband drove an ice cream truck. Revenge is sweet.
