Normal Friday

I didn't have to report for Jury Duty.
Of course that means I didn't have the opportunity to show the folks at Jury HQ my two summonses from the last four months.
Now I will either flake out or have to make a special trip to the Courthouse.
I don't really want to go to the Courthouse because it's as bad, sometimes worse, than checking in at the airport.

See that little doohickey over on the left with the weather information?
If it is working properly, the temperature and other data is being sent directly from my back yard.
The really neat thing is, once more if it is working properly, I can access even more information on my smart phone.
The key to all of this is, if it is working properly.

It's something that will keep me busy for awhile. . .   maybe even entertained.
At least I will stay focused. . .   sort of.

I will be at a conference most of the weekend, starting at two o'clock today.
The best part of the whole thing is the meeting up with folks we only see once in a great while.
The worst of it is there are no meals and the best speakers are at times right after regular meal times.
That means if you want good seating, you have to either eat early or wait until you're half starved.
They won't allow brown bags.

Sandee said I was all over the map yesterday.
I think she meant both literally and figuratively?
Focus hasn't been my strong suit recently.
I have a couple of blog post working their way to the surface.
It is only a matter of fleshing them out.
Meanwhile we'll just turn the squirrels loose and see what sticks [yeah, mixed metaphor].
