Last night Patrice sent me a picture of a group of former HP'ers now at Cisco. Seems they and spouses had won a trip to New Orleans and decided to take a group shot which Patrice was nice enough to share it with me. Great seeing so many old friends (they are not old; I've just known them for some time).
A lazy, slightly rainy day in camp this am followed by an afternoon in the nearby town of Thomson for our Internet 'fix'. That means we are camped out in the local Taco Bell, enjoying it's free wi-fi and a burrito.
Went to the McDonald's except they want you to pay for Internet access. They just don't get it. Here's a great way to increase traffic in their stores and then they ruin it by charging for access. Oh well, McDonald's seems to have lost some of the business acumen which made them a leader for so many years.
Joined the video store in order to rent a video for tonight. No TV and no Internet for the last two weeks has MLA in need of a video fix. She choose "Enchanted", a chick flick if there ever was one. I got "Into The Wild", a story about a young man who wanted to escape the everyday world and seek a life of adventure. I've know what happens but heard the movie is good; I'll let you know.
It's amazing once you get out of the movie going/watching business. So many video titles at the video store and I hardly recognized any of them. AT home, my kids bring home a video and keep me informed of what's out there and what's good. Although our definition of good is not always the same.
On Monday we leave for Charleston, where we'll be staying at the Oaks Plantation Campground for a week. And they have wi-fi. YES! I'll be back in the blog business.
When we leave Mistletoe we have to go through Augusta, which hosts the Masters Golf Tournament, also starting on Monday. Sooo, I took time to plot a course on back roads around Augusta. Let's hope I didn't choose any roads with low overpasses, low tree branches, or streets too narrow for the RV to turn with the toad. It should be fun. An adventure if you will. Better than sitting in traffic on the Interstate.
Sure was good talking to Patrice and Skip today; sounds like they (and others) are doing great at Cisco. Patrice also mentioned about getting some of our mutual friends together when MLA & I get back. Right now my best guess is mid-April; just in time to write a check for the ^%@ tax man.
See YA!
