The Week Begins

Yay. Monday.

Mondays particularly suck after a good weekend. The Boy and I went camping with the Scout Troop this weekend. We did a seven mile hike along the Appalachian Trail on Saturday. Man, what a great friggin' day! Weather was perfect: low 50's and sunny for most of the day. We took a trail that was almost all ridgeline (about 1400+/- ft.) and the view of Northern Jersey was stunning. We had 26 folks out there so we split into three groups that left at staggered times to keep it reasonable. As each group hit a rest point, they'd wait for the next group to show up before moving on. Worked pretty well, too! I just love being out in the woods on a nice day, chatting with the boys and other leaders. We got some rain later that night, but even that didn't taint a great weekend!

Today has been killer at work. Ton of problems to address and (best of all!) a three hour meeting to sit through. Those are always so much fun! It's amazing really. I left two hours early on Friday to make the trip and you'd have thought the world was coming to an end with all the e-mails and voice messages folks sent me.

I see some folks left messages for The Almighty; thanks for that. I'll fwd them over to him and he can take them on for his Thursday Post. If I can get them past His people. Friggin' Seraphim are the worst sort of bureaucrats imagineable! Want everything in triplicate and notarized by a lesser divinity! (Good luck getting one of those to do anything in a rush!)

Later!
