low key

I'm in Huntsville, Alabama currently, attending a set of project reviews for vehicle health management. The company (Northrop) has heeded [personal profile] hopeforyou's suggestions from December and rapidly improved their design tools. That's very good. What was less good was that today's presentations seemed to drone on.

Yesterday I rendezvoused with [personal profile] hopeforyou in Houston -- she came from San Jose, while I had left at dawn and connected through Minneapolis from San Francisco, thereby giving me a 3-hour lunchtime with Nancy. Hope's plane was late, and we had to run to a different terminal.

This evening, after the meetings we drove to a state park on top of a ridge... beautiful views of low forested mountains, bluish haze, and a small waterfall. And I pointed out a millipede to Hope, who played with it. Then we both played on the see-saw before driving back to Huntsville for dinner at a Thai restaurant. Thence several calls and working on slides...
