I'm on an airplane. No seriously - right now as I write and post this entry I'm on an airplane and on the Internet. I'm about 30,000 feet over probably Cleveland as I write this (update before publishing - now probably over Michigan) or thereabouts. You can't even use your cell phone but I'm on the Internet. I don't know how this works but it is pretty cool. Given that fact I couldn't help but take the opportunity to do a blog entry and record my first time online in an airline for posterity.
So I left DC about an hour ago after a whirlwind trip from Minneapolis to DC to Dover, Delaware and back to DC again and then home to Minneapolis. Meetings, meetings, meetings. I'm on my way to Milwaukee for a short layover and then should get into Minneapolis later this evening. Closed circuit to my wife: I should be getting home around 10:00 rather than 1:30. I hope that's a pleasant surprise for you and Finn. BTW, I love the new layout and look!
Right now I'm sitting behind the CEO for GE Healthcare Americas. If any of you know what I do this is right up my ally and they are a big player. Not sure if he cares about release of information or not. If the guy next to him ever stops talking about his home goods store that is like Menard's but they do the work for you too (I think they call those contractors) I was thinking of letting him know what I do and see if he does care about ROI. The ironic part is I was assigned the seat next to him but chose the next row back so I didn't have sit by somebody. Oops.
I do hate traveling and leaving Stacy and Finn at home. I hope that his cold progresses faster than mine did. I couldn't hear anything the whole time I was away. Have you ever tried coupling a nasty head cold with a flight? My ears haven't popped in two days and the pressure in my ears is driving me nuts. I actually feel like I'm in a cloud listening to what I'm saying and even listening in third person to what I'm hearing. It's weird. Only one more take off and two more landings to go though and hopefully I can shake this and let my ears get back to normal.
There haven't been many updates from me in a while. But I think that we can all agree that Stacy has done an awesome...oh crap that's some nasty turbulence (I hate [read slightly fear] flying by the way)...job of keeping everyone updated. And like I said I love the new look and name. It doesn't seem any longer like our "homesite" on AOL that we might have had 5 years ago or so it's now a real cool looking blog. I hope that anyone who missed my entries will accept this as their dose and put a pause to the Jim Blog withdrawal. If this is you then you have problems.
I don't really have any updates on Finn because I haven't seen him since Stacy's last entry. For the most recent update please see the previous entry by Stacy. If you've read all of this hoping for an update on Finn and are now reading that there will be no update and are upset that you've wasted your time reading this only to learn about the lack of update all I can say is too bad but we love how much you want to stay updated on Finn and I'm sorry to have disappointed you. Now that was a run on sentence that even Mark Twain would have been proud of (try diagraming that sentence structure). Speaking of which I need to start reading to Finn and Stacy again. How about tomorrow night?
Well we've started our decent. This entry has probably been descending since you read the title so I guess I'll stop.
