Abby's Home
Good morning! It's back to work today. I listened to Security Now #363 on the drive down to Boxborough, nursing a large iced coffee along the way. It's borderline A/C weather out there this morning.
Today's plans: house gets power washed and work starts on the porches. Michelle teaches her Merrimack YMCA Step class. Abby flies back to NH via Manchester airport. Claire is going to the beach with her friend Shauna. Me? I'm just workin'... Tests to write and a new candidate to interview.
Happy to see Qualcomm made it to #23 on Fortune's Top 100 Companies to work for. We moved up from #33 last year. Was surprised to learn that USAA was up there at #20.
Michelle has picked up Abby from the airport and they're all on their way back home. I'm heading to the cafeteria for some barbecue pulled pork.
Steve Wozniak sees trouble in the cloud. Yet another cautionary tale. I also listened to an episode of Know How where they discussed 'roll your own cloud'.
Left work a smidge early. Listened to the rest of Security Now on the first part of the drive, then Patrick Madrid the rest of the way. I went straight to Golds Gym for tonight's Dynamic Definition class, a Step Circuit class, and a core workout afterwards. I'm sure on Wednesday I'll be feeling those classes. In half an hour I have a conference call with San Diego so I'm snacking on some Lil' Caesars leftovers that the family had earlier. Claire is downstairs with Abby catching up on stories of the past month.
Wrapped up the 8 o'clock call. Michelle tucked Timothy into bed and I took care of the twins. Claire is in the kitchen creating more jewelry. I showed her how to use the kitchen Chumby's 'iheartradio' app to listen to Boston's KISS 108 FM over the internet. She was trying to listen via FM radio and the signal this far north is weak and distorted. Good night all!

from the cloud came a voice,
