| Well, the plan was to "go visit Dee and her new baby Grace" and, while that's more or less what happened, the fact that they live in ORLANDO, FLORIDA was a bit of a distraction! Pook went too (so she could get a chance to see the theme parks) and the GIRLS made a long weekend of it (leaving Lucky, Wally & Gary to their own devices in snowy Syracuse). | |||

JJ at Universal & with "Gracie". Yes, Dee was around too... |  disneyjj2001.jpg 177.04 Kb |
JJ had to get back to Disney - she had some blanks in her autograph book she needed filled (Mad Hatter is lacking no more) and her good friend Minnie wanted her to stop by her house. |
| While the girls were out, Lucky met an unfortunate accident (YES, it was an accident) while Gary was shoveling (he really shouldn't be underfoot so much). Dog doctoring is almost as expensive as people doctoring, only it's not covered by insurance!! | |||

Gary needed some doctoring of his own to fix a "hiatal hernia and esophogeal reflux" - of course this was done via a Laproscopic Nissen Fundoplication. The strange side effect is the inability to burp or vomit (ever again - TRUE). |

It didn't snow much while Gary was laid up, but enough for the "girl team" to have to hit the shovels a time or two (had to get a picture of THAT). |  kellikids022001.jpg 75.36 Kb |

Karen R. & Kathy G. from work came by to meet Lucky and share in some good Thai cooking whipped up by Pook (OK, Kelli helped a little). |  garygolftorreypines.jpg 41.55 Kb |
The one time in my life I get to play a "photographic course" (Torrey Pines North Course in La Jolla, CA) and the "fog from h#!!" has to roll in! "Heck, I don't need to buy those pictures, I'll take my own - - - right." Beautiful weather all week right up to 30 minutes before tee time; simply phenomenal. HEY, I did win closest to the pin though!! |
| Gary attended 2 events in March for work (that was tough enough as it is - if you don't know why, you will). Anyhow, during the INSURANCE ONLINE SUMMIT (check out the AGENDA link) he facilitated a think tank with other IT leaders on "VIRTUAL I.T." At the LOMA TECHNOLOGY FORUM (see the "presentations" link), he actually spoke on a similar topic for an hour session. Scary. | |||

OK, I'm doing this for "developmental purposes", right? So they put me in the "big keynote room" on the raised stage, interpreters in back translating into Spanish & Portugese, and I follow Peter De Jager, a professional IT speaker of about 15 years. Some development! |  vegasstrip.jpg 76.60 Kb |
