they're on their way home...

I'm back from dropping sarahh, dawnd and my beloved patgreene at Sevilla train station. Returning here in time to help the rest of my team finish last-minute packing and then send them off... JO, DN are going overnight with SS to Faro, Portugal. So this morning I led and was part of a group of eight on a successful project -- now I'm figuratively here alone as a lab assistant/sysadmin for the next week. Lonely, now. Seeing Pat off was very hard... I wish we'd had more one-on-one time on this trip.

And I wish they'd all waved. And no cuddles or hugs for another 10 days or so. Being left is always harder, IMO, than leaving (wry grin). So I coped by getting a chocolate croissant, and driving back very fast (well, 170) with the CD player turned way up. :)

Anyway, back to work... I need to brush up on this years' core spectral analysis procedures and try to put the server in the local router's DMZ...

Oh, yeah, and I got barbered in Seville. (grin).
