today is my 36th anniversary of starting to work at Ibm. I was a 22-year-old fresh out of MIT when I walked in Ibm for the first time on August 3. I remember it was freezing cold or so it seemed to me.
I’m celebrating this anniversary doing what I do best … which is traveling
i just came off a flight from Munich to find my flight home to Burlington canceled. All other flights to Burlington were canceled too so I was able to find a flight to Albany. Im renting a car there to drive 3 hours back home.. i am goign to miss the concert we were going to tonight..but im not going to miss diane another day.. 😉
just as we started to board, the airport closed due to lightning …. it just opened after an hour and a half .. so weve boarded the flight .. with any luck well grt out of here now
i must really love this job… :-).. actually in many ways i still do..
Long but fun work day here in Munich.. Just finishing off work (1:15 am)… I just realized that yesterday would have been Jerry Garcia’s 75th birthday.. man.. hard to believe ! Just listening to some old Grateful Dead in appreciation of the man. Strange/fun to think how much his and the bands music have meant to me these last 40 years.. Listening to ‘It must have been the Roses”…
“I don’t know, it must have been the roses,
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
I don’t know, maybe it was the roses,
All I know I could not leave her there.,”
Appropriate ‘cuz I Just got off a long facetime with Diane.. she was showing me flowers from home.. Made me a little less homesick..
