This week started with a nice surprise when one of my old co-workers from GE emailed me to say that she was going to be in London with a few other folks we used to work with.  We decided to meet up on Wednesday evening for a few beers at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese and [...]

It’s Saturday AM and the weather is a bit gloomy out so I’m enjoying a cup of coffee and relaxing on our new super comfortable sofa!  I’m listening to my Dav e Matthews collection and the song ‘True Reflections’ just came on.  I love the lyrics!
