Dreadhead Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Got up early and flew out of San Diego to Denver. Now I'm using the free Denver Airport Wifi. Off to DC at 4pm local time. Going to be nice to be home after 10 days away. Been an awesome trip though.
manaox2 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 As for Claire's job situation, thanks for the kind remarks. She is really bummed out and doesn't know how many times the ground will shift before Fall. There is only one open teaching job in her field open in the whole Bay Area. And Shelly, she is a Ph.D. and was formerly a professor, but she teaches high school now and prefers it. I do hope something works out because this is getting depressing. Best of luck to Claire. The teaching field is on shaky ground almost everywhere it seems.
Voltron Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Belated happy anniversary to Al and Brian. And many more happy ones to come!
swt61 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 We can hardly invade something we discovered but didn't want... Reminds me of how Russia didn't value Alaska very highly, and sold it for $30,000,000.00. Who's laughing now?
shellylh Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 And Shelly, she is a Ph.D. and was formerly a professor, but she teaches high school now and prefers it. Cool, we need good teachers in the high schools! I know a couple of people who did the same thing. Hope things work out for her.

VPI Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Just got from dinner. Argentinian steakhouse. Urp. Yumm. Did you get the Proveleta?
Salt Peanuts Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Went out for a walk at a local state park. Proceeded to get eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Nebby Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 ^ Awesome! I picked up a cooler for my video card and a new case. Spent most of the day swapping parts and installing the cooler, but it's all set and done now
Voltron Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Wow, nice pics, Pete. You've been pretty quiet around here lately but it's probably hard to post from up there.
Wmcmanus Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Came back across from Maine to New Hampshire last night. Took the Atom up to the summit of Mt. Washington today. Great views up there, somewhat similar to some of the 14ers in Colorado, but then again, not really.

The Monkey Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Welcomed home the Little Monkey. Watched "Lost".

Craig Sawyers Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 In my quest to see as many ancient rock stars as I can before they all die off, the wife and I went to see Rod Stewart last night in Birmingham UK. Absolutely excellent show, especially considering he's 65, and has a 4 year old son. All possible ages were there, from teens to the elderly in wheelchairs. A lady who looked to be in her early '80s and flanked by two middle aged daughers was boogying with the best. Baking hot - it got up to 30C in the UK yesterday. So in the last 18 months, me (plus either wife, daugher or son) have seen Leonard Cohen (73, and fantastic), Bob Dylan (69, and difficult to know what he singing), Jean Michel Jarre (60, superb), Deep Purple (amazing - 34 years since I last saw them!), Eric Clapton (65 and showing it) and Steve Winwood (62 and in good shape), and now Rod Stewart. Regret never seeing Queen, Stones or Jimi Hendrix, but Neil Young has to be a must when he next tours.
Salt Peanuts Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Went to hospital early in the morning and spent 5 hours there for what turned out to be a false alarm. Got to work late to find way too many things that needed my attention. 4 hours later, I think I've finally caught up and can start doing some of the actual work I was planning on doing today.
skullguise Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Glad things are OK, Haj..... As for me.....I avoided some monotonous work by perusing H-C
n_maher Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Been there Haj, we did it twice, once with an overnight thrown in for good measure. Try and roll with it as much as the nerves will allow but also allow for the fact that being stressed about it is a normal reaction.
