Short Updates

Good morning all! A little bit of hustling this morning because in 15 minutes Michelle heads out for a CT scan. 6:16am

Back from dropping the boys off at their elementary schools. While I was waiting in the drop off queue, Michelle called and said her CT scan was over. She said it's so much prep work, but the scanning is only about five minutes. 9:00am

Spoke with my folks who started their drive from Coloma, Michigan to New Hampshire early this morning. They're already well into Pennsylvania. 12:07am

Happy! Proved something in simulation tonight that I was struggling with all day. Logging off the corporate network. Time to reacquaint myself with my family... 5:40pm

Watched episode 3 of "FlashForward" with Michelle and Abby. Good night all! 8:54pm

Bookmarks I made today:

Comment: Reported at Investors Business Daily. When I read stuff like this, I think I may need anti-nausea medicine. I tend to think the opposite. We should increase SSI retirement payments based on your working progeny. ;-)

Excerpt: CBS News Exclusive: Study Of State Results Finds H1N1 Not As Prevalent As Feared

Ladybugs Seek Shelter In NH Homes
Comment: That has certainly been the case here. There are hundreds of 'em on our house. "Let me in! I don't want to die! It's freezing out here!"
Excerpt: Many News 9 viewers and staff have reported a large influx of ladybugs in their homes in the past week. The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension said fall is a busy time of the year for ladybugs as the beetles seek shelter for the winter
