Sheep Guarding Llama

Today I am working a contract for T-Mobile / Deutche Telecom. I am working in Rochester today and Buffalo and Syracuse tomorrow. It isn’t much of a contract but I have done work for them before and they are always nice and low maintenance so I am happy to do the work.

The work ended up an all day project. Eric went with me to the first location up in Greece which made the time pass a little bit faster since I am just hanging out in back rooms installing new switches. The work is good and easy. Then I ran over to Pittsford and worked for a little while and then it was on to Marketplace. After hitting all of the Rochster sites, I had to run back up to Greece to fix something that didn’t get fixed previously. Min came up to meet me after I was done working and we got dinner up in Greece. Then she did some dress shopping and I went over to Barnes and Nobles. I wasn’t able to get the work done in Greece so I will have to return tomorrow.

I am glad to be back home. It is nice to be here for a change. I get to be here for a week or two at least. Last week, I took an undeveloped roll of film that I had found in my camera bag over to Wegmans to get them developed. I found a great picture of Andy on that roll from many years ago. The roll was about seven or eight years old. There wasn’t much good on the roll.

I thought that it would be great to have some of the gang’s portraits on the site. I thought that it would really add something to the site. Especially since it will allow us to find ourselves when searching online better.

The word of the day is RAIN. The hurricane has brought a ton of rain our way and it is just dumping it all over here. It has been raining all day.

I spent the day doing some work around the house and doing homework. I have tons of homework that I need to get done right away so I am going to be around Geneseo for the next few weeks getting back on track.

Don’t forget, there is a big game this Friday night!

Min and I are driving north back up to Geneseo today. We slept in a little and then tried to drive up to Baltimore to meet John for lunch. We didn’t end up making it to meet him, though, because we got lost in Baltimore (bad directions.) So we lost a lot of time trying to find the restaurant.

We spent the rest of the day driving. Nothing much to report today. We arrived home safely. Min had to rush right out to work as soon as we arrived home.

We spent the day relaxing and recovering from partying last night. Neither Min nor I left the house today to do anything more than to shop for some ice cream. We watched a lot of television, lots of cartoons. We also watched The Russia House and Dreamcatcher.

Tomorrow we are driving back to New York. Min is back at work at the Fairview tomorrow evening.

For those interested in the Friday Night Game, there is going to be a big one this Friday night. Andy, Tony, Jeremy and I are already on the dockit and Min has to work so we will be going all night.

Min and I slept in very late today. We were very exhausted after fighting so hard to find a hotel last night. Luckily the room worked out well and we got a good night’s sleep.

We went to breakfast back at the Buck Horn before driving back to Greely, PA for the reunion. After breakfast we ran over to Walmart because I had forgotten to pack shirts to wear so we needed to pick some up.

We only took about fourty minutes returning to the camp for the reunion. It was a nice day, cool and overcast. We didn’t get back to the reunion until after lunch. Unfortunately, the reunion was winding down a bit this afternoon so we really got very little time to hang around. We had a good time for the short time that we were there. I volunteered/was elected to create the family reunion web site.

After the reunion, we hit the road south. We decided to take back roads through the Poconos instead of heading back to the main highway. That was definitely the wrong decision. We ended up spending hours sitting in stopped traffic around all of the resorts. They really have a poor infrastructure in that area. It took us as long to get to DC as it would have if we had left directly from Ithaca.

We finally arrived in Annapolis around 9:30. Cookie and Tommy were over and the drinking had already begun. John’s birthday is coming up on Tuesday so we were celebrating tonight.
