Quick Update

I have been way too busy to even look at the site. Tomorrow I meet Jon after almost 10 years since graduation, so I will probably be way too drunk to write anything. The next day I am off to Fuji.

Spent the night drinking with a really iteresting mand from California (now a citizen of Australia) who is here in Japan to start a headhunting company specializing in financial industries (non-IT which seems rare) If there happens to be anyone out there who could not make up their mind about working for ML or JP, according to him, as a recruiter, a person who has worked for JP is more attractive because it indicatest hat they have been trained extremely well. If that same person who couldn't decide is also contemplating GE, he equates GE with ML, and would stick with JP... of course there is more to it than that, but just in case anyone who reads this might be pondering such things.... give me a call and I will tell you the rest

I have a mean sunburn. Lotion doesn't seem to help me at all. Maybe Japanese ltion is weaker. I'm sure it wasn't good for going to eat lunch with a client today... seeing my leporadic face probably didn't mix well with the great meal we had. Anyway, a big project for them and T-mark was (almost) finished last week so they took us out to lunch.

Two really interesting interviews on Fresh Air this week. A New York Times Journalist talks about covering Afghanistan, and Stacy Peritala talks about how he and his gang created the first extreme sport (skatebording) when they were kids.

I came home tonight and found Guri stuck in a little bamboo tube. I don't know how long she was in there before I got home, but she was not at all happy. This is the second time... you would think she would learn not to go in there anymore.
