Nothing profound....

Just calmness and laundry, while we get ready to take Amtrak down to Los Angeles tomorrow. Haircuts all around... I'd been shaggy ever since returning from Haughton Crater.

Amtrak's "reserved coach" is no longer reserved, even on long distance trains. So there is no guarantee that we'll find 5 seats together... a disadvantage to the train when compared to driving or air travel.

Yesterday was comprised of much catching-up and planning the week ahead with my colleagues... and Lori's farewell lunch at Chef Chu's. She's been a huge help, and imposed order and discipline on me and my office that both needed... the project ran more smoothly as a result. I'll be sorry to see her go... besides, there'll no longer be anyone left at work with whom I can flirt outrageously without fear of lawsuits (grin).

Next week... beach Monday, at work at Northrop in horribly-dull financial management meetings Tuesday and Wednesday, Disneyland on Thursday, train home on Friday. Then school begins the following week...

I like the new pic!

Actually, yours is rather new likewise, isn't it?

This photo was taken as I was being surprised with a birthday present, left behind by my sister... at Haughton Crater this summer. Most of my userpics come from various field shots... it seems to be the only time that I'm photographed!

Nice smile - nice reason - shame about the railroad company :-(

Thanks! But I'm confident that the railroad will be OK, as long as the train's not overcrowded...
