Look, Ma, no...

On the way to National Airport this morning, I was (typically) running a half-hour late. Then became mired in slow-moving traffic on I-66E. My weekly vehicle health management telecon with a large aerospace company was rapidly approaching, so I found myself booting my Mac G4 laptop, unzipping a file, and reading the contact number and password out -- all while still driving. =:-}

Then I joined the conference call via cellphone, while still driving. Sigh.

Otherwise, I had a lovely afternoon with Nancy in Minneapolis, picking up Land's End items in their outlet store for $6-8 each. patgreene is getting a new top and pants for $12 that lists in their catalog for $116.

After a bit of cuddling, we went to dinner and to Augsburg College -- Nancy belongs to an ice-dance club that meets there every Thursday. It's a graceful-but-strenuous sport... and males are much in demand as the female skaters outnumber them 2x-3x (contemplative look)...

I'm back home now.

It was my meeting, so I felt obliged to make a reasonable effort to participate... not simply to register, but to decide a few things. I had missed the previous meeting, also.

Traffic was stop-and-go,relatively slow-moving (15-30 mph)so it wasn't as much of a risk as it might seem...

When I was a kid, my parents got rammed hard enough at an offramp in stop and go traffic heading to LAX that I couldn't turn my neck for a week.
