Productivity!

It's amazing how much work one can get done on a day away from work.

We had a lovely time in Baltimore's inner harbour area with [livejournal.com profile] rlegters and [livejournal.com profile] tdjohnsn before dropping them off at the airport in the early afternoon for their return trip to Seattle.

My Civic went into the auto shop for a long overdue routine servicing. While a front strut needs to be replaced, the rest was as expected and I should get my car back today.

We've purchased our air fare to travel to Denver for the annual IAGSDC convention next May. It wasn't a great price ($320 each) but it was good enough, it's a direct flight (United) and the flight times were pretty close to perfect.

E-mail is now caught up, as is bill paying and laundry. The fridge still needs to be cleaned out and the master bath could use a scrubbing but I'll deal with those soon enough.

It was my mother's birthday yesterday; she's 61. Since we had chatted only a week or so ago, there wasn't a great deal of news or gossip on which to catch up. Life seems to be fairly stable & normal in northern Ontario.

At the end of the day, there were precious few work-related e-mails, pages or voice-mails. The only action item I had received I routed to our AIX team who responded immediately; all other items can wait patiently for my attention.

I could use more days like this.

The beer helped. :-)
