There Was Something Else......

.......that I wanted to say and danged if I didn't forget it. But anywho we are in the middle of a string of big weekends. Last weekend we went to cousin RAT(L)'s wedding and boy oh boy did we have fun? No seriously, did we have fun? Here's a great picture of the blushing bride

Yes I know, should have kept that one to myself. BTW her exploration was unsuccessful. Hope they're having fun on their honeymoon for many many years.
Then off to DC for the spring AHRI meetings; I was glad to end my time with Skuttle doing this. I've always enjoyed the section work in this organization and will miss seeing that fine group.

And SWMBO did get to eat at Old Ebbitt's Grill, followed by a walk around the White House and down Pennsylvania Avenue. Nice exercise trying unsuccessfully to walk off that bread pudding. 

Cooper Riley: this one is just for you. I'll get you started....................KNOCK KNOCK

Tomorrow morning, no wait, this morning we have to unpack, repack, get Terri's car from the shop, get Dink's van from the shop, take the seats out of the van, drive to Farmville, VA and get everything Jackson owns, then to Midlothian for a good night's sleep. Then back to HSC for festivities and the baccalaureate service and back to Midlothian. Up early Sunday, drive to HSC for the 10:00 graduation, lunch and festivities; then to Morehead City to unload and repack because I have a 5:20 AM flight Monday morning to Texas to start a new job. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it.  But very excited to see new opportunities for us.

Leaving a good job is difficult, I don't do this very often but I've still got a fire in my belly and look forward to many years with Ventamatic. How does one say goodbye? TAR claims that every time I say something funny it is because I stole it from somebody, well, OK, I'll admit many times but not every time, just nearly every time. So I will give proper credit to one of the AHRI crew, and one of their brightest stars Mr. Eric Chen who looked said this to me Wednesday night and then walked off
"I'm not very good at saying good bye"
