Alive And Well

Hey folks! Just to let you know, we're alive and well in Des Moines, Iowa. We had quite a busy day that got off to a very rough start. I should probably let Gretchen fill you in on all the juicy details, but here's the super short attention span version of the last twenty-four hours of my life: boarded plane in SF; tried to sleep on flight; transfered to second plane in Minneapolis; airborne for thirty minutes before discovering weather radar was shot; returned to Minneapolis; couldn't find Starbucks; waited two hours for new flight; new flight was delayed even further; finally arrived in Des Moines; Lori and Jim picked us up and took us to Wendy's; they drove us to my parents' house; my parents were gone on a weekend motorcycle ride with their club; we turn around and go directly to the Iowa State Fair; I eat three Mark & Gary chops; Gretchen skips fried pickles and goes straight to the world's biggest boar; viewed the butter cow; came home; slept for five minutes; set up plans for dinner with old friends; drove to visit my grandparents; talked with them for a while; went to the Chat Noir for supper; ate a mediocre tenderloin medallion; Jake handed me my new digital video camera, the Canon GL2; talked with Jake about Lockergnome stuff; drank some coffee; drove to Jake's place to pick up some items; was reminded that we forgot to let Lori know about our evening plans; met Jim, Lori, Brian, and Brian's wife at Java Joe's; had more coffee; came back to my place; Jake and I shuffled through a few videos for Gnomedex; Jake went home; I downloaded the day's pictures from my G2 to the still-failing laptop; logged into the blog. And that's about it.

And will we be seeing any pictures?? ;oj

Traveling kicks ass! Oh wait… you said Iowa, not Idaho…

I'm just tired from reading about your day. Gnomedex hasn't even started yet. Ouch…….Hold on for along wek Chris…….it sounds like it's going to be crazy.

Ah, he's just fakin'…He's really still in SF, taping the video that they'll show instead of him. (”Mr. Pirillo was not able to join us in person…”) It'll be like the big Bill Gates video speeches, right Chris?

“Chris P. rides on a serious plan. He's gonna finish as fast as he can!” That means nothing – it just popped into my head from a Zips tune. The midwest welcomes you back, homey. Just be sure to keep that mosquito repellent on hand out at the fair – don't want you callin' any doctors for help.

Oh that's all, eh? ;-) I miss you already though…

Nah,you're not busy :P

The Mpls airport has only Caribou Coffee which is at least as good as Starbucks…give it a shot next time.

man..im tired after reading it! sheesh, go to bed dude!
