We woke up at about 9, after 12 hours sleep. Whew. Today is another “free day,” so we took our time showering, and then made our way down to breakfast. Today, in addition to the regular buffet, they had a woman cooking custom-made omelets. I started to pick out the ingredients to cook in mine, … Read more
We got up at about 7:30, showered and dressed, and went down to breakfast. Another morning in Paradise. We met in the lobby at 9:00 for our day excursion to the island of Delos. Everyone was present and accounted for, except Andrew, who was not present, but thankfully accounted for. He’s opting for beauty rest … Read more
The cleaning folks knocked on our door at about 10:10. I washed my face, and wet my hair enough to comb it, and dressed for breakfast. Robert wasn’t getting up, and I asked, “Coming to breakfast?” Surprisingly, he said, “No. I’ll just get something around here later.” I went up to the lobby as I … Read more
The alarm went off at seven, and I snoozed it twice at 10-minute intervals. I got up at 7:30, showered, and finished last minute packing while Robert showered. We were definitely dragging ass this morning. Steve, Hector, and Mark were down at breakfast already when we arrived, and after we’d eaten some, Adam came down … Read more

Friday, September 3, 2004 We woke up at about 8:30 and MMMMMMMMMed. I “Pawl Bawldwined” (put on coffee – as in “Cawfee Tawk with Pawl Bawldwin), and thawed, and then toasted two bagels for us. I packed and did some last minute stuff online, including forwarding our itinerary to Vivian, Jay, and Robert. Robert then … Read more
I had a great meeting with Greg and Govind, during which we discussed process strategies and ISO implications for the WIM/TUM projects. I felt like I provided a lot of value-add in the meeting, and sensed that they thought so, and appreciated it. I’m going to enjoy working with them. Govind is a pleasure, and … Read more
Cassandra and I had a very productive meeting today – lots to cover, and all covered. Right after that, I left to meet Raj at Chick-fil-A on Harrison Avenue. Always good to see him even though he never has very much to say. We each had a salad, he the spicy one, me the grilled … Read more
