Greetings from 35,000 feet

Ah, first class is nice. I get so many free upgrades now that whenever I don't like my seat, I just upgrade myself to first! It's really the only time I can work on the laptop since the seats in the back are too narrow for those kind of shennanigans.

So I've been extended on my current assignment for another two weeks which is a lot of fun. San Jose doesn't have too much to do, but the weather is beautiful. Even last week the trees were blooming.

The former chef of the White House (under Clinton and B*&^) was doing a book signing in the cafeteria of my work building. So I thought I would get a book signed for Skippy the chef as one of his V-Day assignments. Well the cafeteria is HUGE and totally mobbed so we normally go to lunch at about 1 pm to miss the crowds. The book signing was from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm but by the time I got there at 1:10 pm he was gone, gone gone. How rude! I wasn't the only one standing around waiting for him either. How rude!

Do you every listen to a song on your iPod (or other inferior music player of your choice) and just start playing it over and over? I'm doing that right now with Heather Headley's song Change. I've been playing it for about an hour now.

My mom is here! She's been staying with my sister down in Castle Rock so we saw her for lunch on Sunday, but she is ours for the weekend starting tomorrow. Custody of the Mom! We'll be off to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch and gambling in BlackHawk tomorrow night. Skip doesn't bother to ask me what casino I want to visit (as I'm not into gambling), he knows the answer is "whichever one is the least smokey". I hate hate hate hate smoke and the longer I am away from it the more I hate it.

Have a great weekend!
