Had to urge to quickly cover everything that's happened recently. First, Matty K is working with me at IBM now, and has been for a few months. He also makes a great nurse (see below). Off to Miami next week to see the Pats play. Oh yeah, we're driving down, everyone loves a good road trip. Then in February I'm off to Sydney for a month. 3 ( Read more... )

So yes, I did it again. Broke my wrist for the 4th time about 6 weeks ago. I was playing in a basketball game in Concord, NH. Took a spill going to the hoop, and landed funny on my left hand.
