The last 7 Days

Like many projects in my life I have a way of starting them and not finishing them. Not the case with a good glass of wine though :)  Haven't updated the blog since October 3rd so here is a recap of the last 7 days.

Tuesday, October 4 - In Louisville for the ICUEE show. Spent the day in the booth then met the Bell folks at the Blue Stem Brewery for drinks and food. Hooked up with a couple customers from Iowa and took in some live music.

Wednesday, October 5 - Another day in the trade show booth. Finally feeling normal after the previous weekend's being sick.  Still coughing though. Doug (my boss) and I took a group of reps and customers to a good Italian restaurant.  Spent a short time with our reps from New York & customers after dinner.

4th Street Live - Louisville, KY


Thursday, October 6 - Last day of show - Packed up booth then went to the hotel and took a nap. Met Mark from Hughes Brothers for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe' - bought Johnny a shirt. Early night watching The Pirates of Silicon Valley on TV. Remembering the legendary Steve Jobs.

Friday, October 7 - Woke up to Orbitz calling me at 2:45 AM - Early limo ride to airport.  Grabbed a breakfast pizza in O'Hare at Wolfgang Puck's. On time arrival put me back in Lincoln at around 10:00 AM. Took a nap at home then we went to Lincoln to watch Annie march in the UNL homecoming parade. Met Ben at the Oven for some awesome Indian food - had a good visit with him regarding his new job possibility at Baily Lauerman.

Saturday, October 8 - Up early and went to the farmer's market in Lincoln, then picked up Ben and his laundry. Back home and Ben and I scrambled to do massive lawn and leaf clean up. Cleaned up then headed back to Lincoln to watch Annie practice, then perform before the Ohio State game. Had a nice chat with Tim, a music professor from Ohio State who came over to watch the band warm up. Had Sharon's mom and aunt with us - they enjoyed everything. Back home to watch the game, Huskers win with a historic come back, 34 - 27.

Sunday, October 9 - Church in the morning, a few stops in Lincoln then home for a relaxing day. Made spinach orzo pasta for dinner.

Monday, October 10 - Busy day back at work, made enchiladas for dinner then relaxed with Sharon watching the tube.
