Mom Visit

Well we spend the late morning and early afternoon doing the final Fall Cleaning touches just in time for the Emmy Unit to arrive around 5:30. Ironically the Sunny Unit called right as she walked in the door, so it was a Mom kinda moment. Sunny had found this cool job opportunity, unfortunatly it is in Keene NH, and we are just not able to relocate at this time.

So MW arrived at 5:30 and we had a nice chat, showed her Alex's new paint job and then trundled off for a late Anniversary early birthday (9/10 & 9/23) dinner at Koto Restaurant near the Airport. This is a Hibachi cooking table type Japanese restaurant. Two pictures are below.





The cook created an Onion Tower and the made it into a Volcano. Pretty cool.





MW, Alex and I had Chicken, and Liza had Shirmp and Steak Hibachi's.





These three were our table companions, the middle one had a brazillian accent, and they said there in town on business. Liza guessed a Retail meeting, I was more leaning to sales. Either way it was a nice background. (ducking)


All in all (sexist comments aside) we had a great time at Koto and would recommend it to anyone with a fat wallet. We got back and determined that MW had to go to RenssaelarVILLE not Rensaellar, so we got her to be early and did so oursleves, being that I have my first day of work/training tomorrow. Wild....

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
