I’m back at work. Woke up at 6 AM and got here at 7:30 AM. Howard Stern entertained me faithfully. Most of my worries seem to be subsiding at the moment, although nothing is resolved. I am planning ahead for my return to Houston next week. A group of us are going to meet at PF Changs once my plane touches down and I pick up the latest scary rental car form Hertz. This whole trip is on my own coin (flight + car). If I had a flying car that would make things way easier. Now that I think about it, I have a standing bet with Carl that there will be flying cars by 2015. We made this bet in 1990. I bet there would be, he bet against it. I fear he may yet collect that $100. Remind me to make smarter bets.


I spent the weekend working at my new desk and watching all of the ”Two Towers” DVD goodies. They basically spill every secret about the making of the movie on those extra discs. Great stuff. I’m super excited about seeing the last one. It’s getting stellar reviews. Friend of mine said it was better than the Back to the Future trilogy. Yeah… maybe. We’ll see after Wednesday.
