I am off to visit Jayson’s place for the 4th. I had a choice of Jayson & Gretchen in Poughkeepsie or my sister, and my brother in law’s sisters family with all their kids at their summer house in Penn. Since I just saw my sister and the kids last weekend, I decided to go upstate. The trip to Penn is a real pain and Jayson’s is just up the river on Metro North. Granted it is at the other end of the line on Metro North, but so far the trip is not so bad.
I got out of work at 3pm today, since the holiday is tomorrow. That was good. I got a moderate amount of work done today. Mainly updating project plans and going over documentation. Fun.
I was going to meet up with Louis for drinks, but he got really busy at work. I haven’t seen him since Mina’s going away party so it would be nice to get together even if it is for a drink or two. We are going to rain check and try again early next week. I am not holding my breath on that one. Since those plans were canceled I decided to pack my overnight bag and head up to Jay’s tonight instead of tomorrow morning. I figure I can head home tomorrow night after the BBQ or Saturday morning.
Another former boss I just spoke to was Gus. He IM’d to say hi. I love that he tries to make me feel guilty that we don’t hang out, but he is the one with the crazier schedule. Jayson won’t even put him down on a calendar to meet up because of the last minute cancel. He figures if i get together with Gus and it actually happens I would call and he would meet up. He is kind of right since that has actually worked for him a few times. I need to get back to Gus and let him know when is good to hang. It is alway too long between meet ups.
