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!

    In connection with the conversation we had yesterday, I sent this article that was linked in today’s Lockergnome to the head of our Communications Department. What do you think, is the upcoming version of Office turning off images and HTML by default combined with the “spam wars” going to kill email as a marketing tool?…

    For all the good intentions I had, the laptop never even got powered on all weekend. We arrived home safely this evening after spending the weekend in Johnson City, TN. I was having much too much fun visiting Angela’s alma mater, ETSU, and listening to her grandparents tell stories about this family that I’ve married…
