Sunday

It is good to be home.  Rolled in around 8 Friday night. It was great to lie down on my old lumpy mattress. 

Clearly the photographer can’t hold the camera straight and level.

Paging Sarah Connor

 

Sure it is cute and fun.

Didn’t its creators ever watch The Terminator?

Beautiful

 

I saw this was my view every day as I walked out of my hotel this week. 

Dang Dixie

 

Yes that's Dixie McCall (Julie London) of "Emergency" smoking up the airwaves.

I don't wanna know your name

 

Happy Father's Day

to all you dads out there.

I miss you Dad.

Posting will be light next week. I'm heading out in the morning for the big robotics show in Chicago.  

woot

Can you feel my excitement? 

I'm searching for a a word..loathe...that's it! I loathe trade shows. 13.6% of the attendees are there to learn something or find a new supplier. 11% are there because it represents a small work vacation. 9% are there because their boss said they had to go. 31% are there to sell something to ghe exhibitors but don't want to rent a booth. The balance are looking for free stuff. 

The exhibitors are just there to sell something to people who are not interested in buying.

Time moves slower at a trade show. Four minutes may pass in the outside world while only one minute passes in a trade show. Fact. 

I will have fun hanging with my work coleagues who I rarely see in person. 

I will not enjoy standing 6-7 hours a day. Did I mention Chicago? McCormick place? If you know,you understand. 

A couple of years ago when the show was in Chicago we went to a Cubs game and that made it all worth suffering through. Alas, the Cubs are out of town next week. I'm confident the boss has some fun things arranged and I know we will eat well, but the show...
