I've got my internet working at the apartment again, it took the technician all of 5 minutes, I suspect a wire was loose, or else someone had disturbed it and put it back in the wrong place. Very frustrating the whole process, the holidays also served to extend how long it took. I was also finally able to get the wireless router hooked up and working, so rather than sitting at the kitchen table to surf, I can now chill on the sofa and surf.
I need to make a few posts, Christmas weekend I went to Paris for a three-day trip, it was great to finally get there, but it was mighty chilly. Never the less, I'm glad I finally got there. I need to finish downloading the photos then I can post some. This coming weekend (a three day, MLK Jr day) I'm taking a trip over to Prague, Czech Republic. It will be cool and perhaps snowing, but it will be another country to see.
So my small world story. I need to write about what work is, but my boss, a full bird Army Colonel, and perhaps the best boss I've ever had, grew up in Bloomington, MN. A few years ahead of me, or perhaps more than a few. The world gets smaller.
Back in early December, I had a dental cleaning appointment. I was settling into the chair and I noticed the hygienist had a certificate from the University of MN, I asked if she was from MN and she was like, yeah, she grew up in Fairfax, out west where it is very flat. A week later my boss had a cleaning appointment. He sat down, saw the certificate from the U and said he was from MN, she replied that just last week she had this guy in from MN whose boss was also from MN...
Thats about it for now, I need to charge the laptop and I'll probably go ahead and download the photos too.
Cheers,
Evan
