My last couple of weeks here in Hartford are winding down quickly, mainly because I’ve got quite a lot to do. Makes a nice change from being bored.<\/p>\n
On Monday I organized a small group of people to drive down to the coast, about an hour away. Just east of New Haven is a town called East Branford, where we found Lenny’s Indian Head Inn, an authentic lobster shack that looks like it hasn’t been changed in 30 years. We feasted on remarkably cheap oysters, clams, lobsters and beer.<\/p>\n
Yesterday my next-cublicle neighbour Brian convinced me to start watching the series “24”, now starting its second season. Yesterday’s show was a bit slow, but the premise is good so I’ll give it a chance. It’s a “real time” (1 hour per hour of TV, except for the commercials, of course) show chronicling a single (really, really bad) day in the life of a U.S. counter-terrorism expert. The show was apparently a critical hit last year.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, I checked Google, and found that I now show up first when you enter “Tom Leslie” in the search field! All the other Tom Leslie’s out there, in your face! Boo rah! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
