The Blog is launched! I intend to keep this updated on at least a weekly basis. I am also setting up several �Vice� Blogs that will detail my intellectual pursuits.

Last night my friend Linda took me to Serafina, a restaurant on Eastlake that I�ve always wanted to visit but never have had the chance. We sat on the patio and dined from about Six thirty to nearly ten, but then we had a lot of catching up to do. Oddly we talked about everything we normally talk about, our families, our private or �love� lives, our work�the more things change the more they stay the same.

Today I work. I need to ask my manager if I can arrange to not work any more Saturdays. My feeling is that I won�t be able to do that immediately, but that because I was planning on taking the next two weeks off, those Saturdays won�t be a problem. Well, now I am running out of time here. I should sign off. Have a good day.
