Upcoming Excitement

I have to travel to Albuquerque in a couple of weeks for business and a group of us are going to get together and go HIKING!! I've never been hiking, unless you count tromping around the woods behind our house. This is the link to the trail we're going to hike: http://www.laluztrail.com/. I hope I don't forget my camera! If I don't, expect pictures.

One o' those days.....

Ever have one of those days where it just seems that nothing is functioning right? Things go wrong, you make no progress at work because you can't seem to concentrate on anything for longer than about 5 miliseconds.....well, I had one today. Observation - it makes for a long day when the coffee maker is out of commission. But a trip to Starbucks will change your perspective. Perked me right up. BTW: why are there so many Asians doing work at Starbucks at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday? Not homework and not as Starbucks employees. Just actually doing their work. Work work. Complete with blackberries, laptops, neckties and portfolios. Seemed odd to me. All the non-asians were just chatting and sipping their beverages, sending or receiving the occasional text message in flip-flops rather than power suits. That tells you how long it takes Starbucks to fix a cup of coffee. If I'd had to wait any longer, I would have had to give my resume to one of the working Asians. Didn't intend to be gone from the office for that long. Anyway.......

So at some point I will be adding links to my friends' blogs. I'm sure you will enjoy meandering through cyberspace. I will try to keep it entertaining though. So if one of their blogs is a dud, just let me know and I will remove it immediately.

Opening Day

So I have decided that I need to be less out of touch with the rest of my generation. Up until now I have avoided just about anything technical, especially as it pertains to the WWW and social networking. But that isn't working for me anymore, so it's time to expand my horizons. So without further ado, I bring you.........Observations. The title is somewhat of an inside joke between a few of my friends and me but everyone else who knows me at least somewhat probably get it too.
