A few hours before I was supposed to leave for Europe, SAS called to inform me that my flight was cancelled and I was going to be rebooked for the flight on the following day. Since that flight would put me in Antwerp after my meeting, and there were no other flights that could get me there in time on other airlines....so didn't go which...

Seahawks in the Super Bowl...who would a thunk it?

Sick day #2. I need to get better since I'm leaving for a week in Europe on Saturday. What should I expect out of Belgium--especially Antwerp?

Off to CES. Vegas, here I come!

Went on a pub crawl last night with some coworkers. The main reason was to celebrate a coworker's new job, although I'm bummed that he's leaving since he's one of the stars on my team.

I did manage to keep up with the crowd, although I was hurting this morning. I used to be able to recover a little faster, but I've had the stupids...

The food was fantastic (used to be the executive chef for a well known restauranteur in Seattle), and I got to meet some fascinating people. I did get to bring a...

Went to see a friend's band participate in some battle of the bands. They sounded okay,...

This week I'm off to Ottawa with a few hours in Montreal. I won't be home until the weekend which kinda sucks.

BTW, I got to see Dead Can Dance last week (front row). They were amazing. The room was definitely emotionally charged.

I had to put one of my cats down. Although he lived a very long and good life, it still seemed too soon for him to go.

It was a surreal and emotional experience. He was one of the first pets I've had as an adult (since 1991) and he's seen a lot through those blue eyes of his.

Rest in peace, Squeaky.
