Slightly Off-Topic

…and I’m back in Michigan. Land of internet access and no alligators! I should probably start by wishing all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day. Remember that this is the day you can get your children to do every little spring cleaning task that you’ve been putting off, and they can’t complain, so let’s start the polishing, eh?

I think the nicest thing about being back is sleeping in my own bed. The hotel beds were fine, but it’s just not the same. Of course, I’m sure Laurie could have used a few more nights without my snoring (at least that’s what I believe judging by the number of late-night punches I received last night), but I like to tell myself that she’s happy to see me! 😉 The bed and the water, actually. I generally just drink tap water (what does Evian spell when reversed?) but find that I drink a lot less when I’m not in the home area. Constant dehydration is not the best way to spend a business trip! Regardless, the trip was good and productive, so I’ll mark it in the win column.

…and who knew CompUSA was still alive?!? They certainly saved my bacon with a universal laptop charger. Sadly, they’ve taken to the Fry’s methodology of insisting on a cavity search of customers as they try and exit the store. Had I known, I would have wore looser-fitting clothes!

Well, must go pamper my wife now and give my mom a phone call. Before I go though, let me ask you something. What’s This Noise I hear about a weekly contest?
