Good day at work, looks like we may be able to close business with another client tomorrow or Friday. I may have to fly out to Denver mid next week.

The weather continues to be amazing, it is 76 right now!

Got an email from Marlena, a friend. Her cell phone was stolen at a bar last night, she is getting a new one today.

Also heard from Jordi today. He wanted me to remind him of a sentence by Margaret Thatcher that illustrated her general attitude. The sentence goes like this: "I am an extremely patient person, as long as I ultimately get my way."

I may go out for a bit later, I am not tired at all today.

Long days at work this week, lots going on. Exchanged emails with Kaye today, she is as busy as I am all week. Maybe we'll hang out next week.

I've confirmed that Jose (also known as Pep or Pipi in English ) will be in town around May 7, and will stay with me for a few days.

Talked to Bill for quite a while this evening, hadn't done so in a few days. He is doing fine, he has a lecture he has to prepare this Saturday and he is a bit stressed

Also talked to Karsten and Yvonne a few days back, they're expecting their second baby. It's due for Christmas, they are very happy.

Sounds like my friend Jose from Spain may be visiting in a month or two. Also, Christina, Hans' sister, will be in town next month, I'm sure we'll hang out, she's cool. She's an artist.

I have some pics from Texas, from the NASCAR race. Going to eat something now, maybe I'll post them tomorrow.

Kasey Kahne soared Saturday afternoon, notching his second career Busch Series victory -- the O'Reilly 300.


Very nice day here in Texas. Good crowds, very friendly .Going to a party in the infield later tonight. Change of plans: flying back to NY tomorrow night (vs. going to San Antonio on Monday.) So I'll be home sooner than expected.
