No blogging yesterday. I went down to Cincinnati to interview a team from P&G's corporate engineering staff. There were many good ideas floating around. You can read all about it in the March Automation World and Packaging World magazines. I also had lunch with Lynette and Chuck from Advantech. Found out what I missed by not going to their user conference in Shanghai in October (aside from the illness that Walt and Renee got coming home).
I had a song running through my mind when I wrote a sentence on a post Wednesday. Jarrett Campbell asks, "Do I get even more bonus points for finding a video clip of the song subtitled in Portuguese? :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-Qmcvt6kKA [Wow]
Nick Belardes, who has been quiet here lately since he switched jobs, voiced surprise that there was so little commenting on my ramble about whether Rockwell would be purchased. I guess that issue must be a yawner to most people ;-)
I have a bunch of things in queue that I'm working on, but this joke from my son, the Steelers fan, was too good not to pass on. [I've been a Browns fan most of my life, but, no, I don't own a dog mask.]
One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He plays for the Cleveland Browns, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
