I&#8217;ve had a wonderful, wonderful weekend with my new sweetie Anne Macdonald.  She&#8217;s amazing.  I&#8217;m SO happy!  Yesterday we had a great afternoon at High Park with Craig and Susan.  I picked up a Frisbee and a soccer ball and we alternated tossing the &#8216;bee (and sweating like mad, it was really hot) and lounging under a tree chugging water.  Craig &#038; Susan fed us pesto pasta for dinner and I went home to pack.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;m back on the road.  Before I even started work again last Thursday there were two projects fighting over me.  The one that won is in Hartford, CT., where I am at the moment.  They wanted me down here last week but my visa application materials didn&#8217;t get to me until this morning and it was touch and go whether or not I would make it down here today at all.  I waited in U.S. Immigration for a while, but fortunately the lineup wasn&#8217;t too long and they were satisfied with my docs.  I blazed through to the gate but actually had a few minutes to spare there before boarding started for my 12:45 flight.  The little Dash 8 took just an hour and a half to get to Hartford, though the last few minutes were pretty bumpy (and apparently that&#8217;s normal for the Hartford Airport, wheee).  By 3pm I was downtown.  Here, I&#8217;m going through masses of project materials trying to make sense of it all.  I&#8217;ll probably end up working late this evening, if only because the project lead has been over at the client site all day and I haven&#8217;t had a chance to check in with him yet.<\/p>\n<p>So, new beginnings all around.  Oh, happy day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, what to say? I&#8217;ve had a wonderful, wonderful weekend with my new sweetie Anne Macdonald. She&#8217;s amazing.
