Fun day  in Armonk. I was  a speaker at the New Distinguished Engineer and Distinguished Designer meeting . Diane stayed with me here in the hotel last night which was really nice. We got to sleep in . and then take a run around the pretty grounds here. Around 8 she took off back to Vermont. 

 

there were several good speakers on the agenda today in addition to me..

one surprise speaker was our CEO Ginni. She was really great . She’s so good in informal discussions 

 

. 

 

I gave a talk over at CHQ today.. and took advantage of my spare 10 min to go say hi to my old team there. Here are Kala. Jack, Karyn and Ronnie 

 

after the resto fo the speakers,We all went to a nice italian place in Ardlsey.. the town I lived in as a baby.. 

 

their speacialty is home made noodles made ina  parmesian wheel.. flamed with cognac.. It was really tasty !

 

great catching up with a zillion freinds at dinner.. I ddin’t take that many pictures.. Here’s one of my fried Trinette.. whom I just learned is the daughter of my freind Beth.. the only mother/daughter DE pair we’ve ever had in IBM. How cool is that ?!?
