Just because I can. Here's my wife, the beauteous Kathryn, in full dress-up mode. I'm a lucky guy...         3:53:35 PM

Figures. After a long drought in new projects, now a third project opportunity has gotten a green light this week. It's not raining, it's a damn monsoon. I'll go from working 20 hours per week networking/marketing, to 75 hours/week delivering the goods. Welcome to the stochastic life of an "independent" consultant. 11:44:49 AM

College reunion coming up this weekend. I've never been much of a reunion person, but I'm looking forward to this one. I think it's because it's a real group of friends, people who had a connection way back when, as opposed to just everyone with the same graduation date. Lots of fun planned, including golf here http://opera.cincinnati.com/golf/coursedisplay.asp?id=26. Amazing - this course will cost $23 to play on a weekend. An equivalent course in Socal would be at least $80 on the weekend. 7:42:12 AM

We survived the visit of the Ancient Relative and his 7 (!) multi-generational dependents last night. It was both better and worse than I thought it would be. I found my self feeling sorry for this odd, a little-too-loud 60-something cousin of mine who has now inherited a second and third generation to raise. I can ignore all his Archie Bunker-ish traits when I consider the nightmare it must be to see no end in sight, raising four young grandchildren while at the end of life. Good luck, George. 7:24:39 AM
