I have a question and eventually I will get around to asking it.

I am back. You did not think I had forgotten about y'all now, did you? I do have to mention that it was on this day and date in 2004, 5 years ago, that I began my odyssey, my George S May odyssey. It began with a very snowy Monday, where I had come home and taken the Lad to Staples with me after dinner to buy a portable printer. I still have the printer but as an inkjet, it is expensive to run, especially in color, and has become a pain in the ass to use.

I woke up on the Tuesday, shovelled, took the Lad to school, the Wife to work and set up the printer. I had some software installed at my local computer shop and in the snow, after lunch, picked up the Wife from work and the Lad from school. I was then whisked to the airport while I awaited my flight to Chicago.

I got my luggage, called for the shuttle and headed to the beautiful La Quinta Inn. I got settled and had a restless night of excitement and anticipation. It was an early Wednesday (it would be an early every day, as even the day off, Super Bowl Sunday, I woke up at about 6:00 am and could not fall back asleep) start and the adventure began. I just find it interesting that the days and dates align for this part of the year. It goes astray at the end of February as 2004 was a leap year and 2009 is not.

In fact, if you had to compare years, then 2009 falls like 1981. We again come off a leap year (1980) where my birthday fell on a Thursday and falls on a Friday just like in 1981. That is some calendar trivia for you.

Anybody know where I can find some low sodium table salt? Just asking.

Ciao!
