Hey - got to see all the pics. It was a beautiful wedding - so happy for both of you! I also heard about your exciting adventures in DC going to ear Thai food - sounds like you and Holly are braver than Kent and I!! :)
happy t--day! are you coming here for thurs? hope to see you! we'll be back later that day from san antone. you are welcome to spend the night here in town! that would be fun!
Don't jump up at 4 in the morning this time -- unless of course that is appropriate! Have a safe trip and a happy thanksgiving, gobble gobble. And if are feeling so inclined as to bring my name up, tell the fam I said hello as well.
You are going to KC? Would it be alright if I happened along at the same time? I was hoping to go up there sometime after school lets out but before the new year. Let me know when you'll be up there and if I can come help.
There is a possibility that I'll be renting out my house to some people that want to start moving in sometime in mid-december. I might be going up there for an extended weekend of cleaning my house out and putting stuff in storage. I don't think anybody will see me for very long on this trip, if at all.
Jeremy, I'm not a RPaulite by any stretch, but if you actually look up his HR300, you might be surprised to find out that Congress has such authority over the Supreme Court according to Article III, section 2.
Today I was at a meeting with one of my customers, talking to their management team about their IT strategy for the next couple of years. At the beginning of the meeting their CIO went through a quick presentation about his planning philosophy. To get across the idea that it's OK to make some mistakes and modify your plans as you go, he showed a slide that said:
"Albert Einstein failed over 100 times before he got the light bulb right."
I don't know if he was just being funny in an ironic kind of way, or if he was being ignorant in an ironic kind of way. In any case, I had to suppress a chuckle. Beginning the meeting by laughing at my customer probably would have been really bad form...
That is hilarious - did he mention that he was trying to be ironic? If not, I think you know the answer. It would have been very hard to keep a straight face.
Nobody else at the table cracked a smile. He actually read that portion of the slide and didn't even smirk. It couldn't have been intentional. If it was intentional, he needs to work on his delivery.
Maybe he was talking about black body radiation and the photoelectric effect (both very much related to the incandescent light bulb), which Einstein worked on for a long time before his work on relativity, and for which he received a Nobel prize in Physics. No need to be snarky :)
I'm sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation tonight! My phone went dead, and I was at the studio without a charger until - 20 minutes ago. We'll have to finish some other time.
Hey, Jer. Why don't you come up to see me sometime when you have nothing better to do? I enjoyed my trip to St. Louis recently. Two cute babies there. Love, Grandma
Both of you make excellent points. So, just to be contrarian, I'm now a hardcore Rockies fan. Unless being "hardcore" requires an actual knowledge of the team. For instance, learning the name of at least one player. If I have to put forth that much effort, I'll probably stop being hardcore.
Hey! I just saw your story below about getting up and getting ready at 2:20 thinking it was 4:20. I used to do that frequently! When we would lose power my alarm setting would set itself for 12:00am. I would forget to reset the time and just flip it to alarm. I would get up and shower and start getting ready thinking I must be reading my clock wrong. After the shower I would usually check another clock realize my mistake and go back to bed. But the funny thing was I did this tons of times! Michaiah witnessed it several times when were roommates. You'd think I'd learn!
