Well, I’m back in the bay area again, this time by myself. I came up yesterday, an easy trip, and have been meeting all day. In fact, I turned out to be overbooked and had to cancel a couple of meetings when another schedule changed. It was useful, but it sure gets old! This evening I went to the salad bar with Kevin and Tali and stayed until they were about to close. We even stopped talking about high-performance computers when we noticed Tali’s eyes glazing over, and decided to solve the world’s problems instead. We did manage to trade rumors and gossip about this incredibly inbred world we work in.
