The hat says it all...

Thursday was a crazy day, up at 4:30am, conference call at 7. I still had packing and preparation to do (yes, Thursday was departure day, but you don't want to be too ready). Already too many things to get ready before the 2pm car service pickup? Or was it? I did need one last thing...our camera had been acting up, black spots on pictures, internal memory lasting 5 minutes, you know annoying things. And since I do like to take pictures, it was time to get a new camera. Now don't think I woke up Thursday and decided that, I HAD done some preparation. So off Rose and I go to Target shopping. A bit later we end up at a local camera dealer and purchased a Canon PowerShot A720IS. For us it was the perfect camera, not too big, not too small - - all-purpose. We'll see how it works out. After wings at the Lizard, we headed back to home to finish packing. I was doing good until 1:50 when I remembered I had to prepare the fish tank for two weeks...oh well, the driver wasn't too upset.

So the hat, which was an Easter gift from Rose, is perfect for the trip. And really, the hat says it all...

Here we go again...

So time to resurrect the old blog....

I suppose I should really post stories for the other stuff that happens on my life...I guess that most stuff is either too personal, too boring, or too likely to get me in trouble at work (just kidding guys!)

In less than a week I head out again for Bangalore...I leave on 27 March and today is the 22nd. I am not prepared to do this. The last time I took this trip, the weather here in NEO was more similar to the weather in Bangalore. Not so now; in Bangalore, it is currently 70 degrees (12:10 am tomorrow) and here it is a balmy 35. We had 6 inches of snow overnight. We decorated decorated Easter Eggs this morning. Here is a useful way to dispose of the egg coloring when you have 4 foot tall piles of snow!

But I digress...So since it is still snowing here, and it is not snowing in Bangalore, I need to dig out the summer clothes...I just can't imagine short sleeves and shorts right now. So, I have nothing prepared to go, my luggage has a broken wheel and forget about being prepared work wise. The last two weeks have been interesting, to say the least, with the projects I am working on...this week will be a cram course in getting prepared for the following two weeks with the India Team, but I'm sure everything will work out.

I'm not sure what this trip will bring (hopefully no bodies on the tracks my first day in the office), but I'm sure there will be some stories to share...
