Green statue
Here’s a green statue we noticed during our recent trip to New York. Apparently, it’s French or something. The statue itself is beautiful, and it’s on an equally impressive pedestal. It’s not often you see such a thing. Interestingly, it was set up in the middle of an old fort. Who would have guessed? Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam and part of my famous Statue series.
Just checking in tonight. Been a busy but pleasant week. Worked hard, ate hard, slept hard. That’s how I roll.
LRN4 and I went to dinner tonight with our friends and my colleagues Hai and Thomas. They’re going back to Sunnyvale tomorrow – their TDY is over. I’ll miss them. It looks like they’re keeping me here for the duration, though. We’re glad about that. We’re enjoying Pennsylvania quite a bit.
On the other hand, our Las Vegas home project is moving forward smartly. We’ve signed the papers, they’ve signed the papers, we now have an appointment to pick out the house’s options, and they’re starting to shovel the week of 4 June. Can’t wait!
The Loyal Readers at college are both doing well. They’ve just taken midterms with mostly very positive results. Keep up the good work, Loyal Readers!
My trusty old router is no longer so trusty. It’s gotten to the point of crapping out pretty much once a day. So I ordered a trusty [amazon asin=B002HWRJY4&text=new router] tonight. My two-day Amazon shipping will get it here by next Wednesday. It’s the same brand as the old one, so it’s likely to have all of the old one’s good points (dual-band wireless, guest network, attached storage capability, etc.) and probably all of the same bad points as every other consumer-grade router. Namely, that it will probably last a year and then be ready for replacement. Such is the way of routers.
Nothing much else going on. It’s the four-day Memorial Day weekend! We have little to no plans, other than finishing the Brewing Co. app on the Android. I’m going to do it!
I polled the Loyal Readers this afternoon for iOS app ideas. I got several excellent suggestions, all of which are going on my list. I was looking for things to work on after I go out on my own and when I’m between paying customers. I am SO ready to get started. Which I’m doing in my copious spare time. When I’m not wasting that spare time, that is.
Anyway. It’s already way past my bedtime and I must obey the call. I’ll leave my Loyal Readers with this exciting Morrowlife Employment Agency job opportunity: hospital-invading monkey!
See you tomorrow.

So then will they need a BIGGER animal to control the ones who are supposed to control the smaller ones? I think I remember a rhyme kind of like this…

Yes, but who watches the watch-monkey? Err, dog. Err, monkey? Who knows?
