Another long day. I feel I’ve been dragged into a near impossible task at work.. bu I’m masochistically enjoying it somehow.   I stood at the counter and worked form 8 thill about 7.. with only one break for a run midday.. Everything had been covered with snow last night.. and the river was still at flood. It was a cool combo.   Wait.. make that two breaks, I did have a 30 minute conversation with a precocious 10 year old girl from Virginia (i think) named Kaleela. Kaleela is an expert on monarch butterflies.. she wants to design a system to track their migration> Her mom wrote the chairman of ibm for help.. and his office asked me. We’ve spoken three times now.. and i tell you.. this kid is amazing. She knows everythign about butterflies.. and has been researching chip technology for the tracking. Things like this make my job fun..
   Gabe’s home now .. we’re both kinda moping around the house because we have too much work.. but at least its fun to complain .   I’m goign to go bug him now..

That’s it for now.. more tomorrow
nite all, nite sam
