Mock-Tudor Edwardian Georgian Castle with Irish Bar
Ah yes, those Sheraton folks in Massachusetts really know their architecture. Our hotel was only bettered by the one we drove under which straddled the Massachusetts Turnpike. I’ve always wanted a room with cars whizzing past 20 feet under my floor.
Shopping disaster - only had time for Toys R Us. Kids happy even if I’m still without a new keyboard and mouse.
On the other hand, we had some very successful meals.

Not an April Fool
From yesterday’s ElectricNews:
Irish company Vordel, the XML web services security company, announced the appointment of German firm, SHE-IT as a reseller of its XML security software in the German marketplace. SHE-IT has a strong reputation for delivering security systems integration expertise to leading companies in the financial services, telecoms and industrial sectors in Germany, Vordel claimed.
Anyone else have an image in their head of a southern US good old boy stubbing his toe, spitting out some chewing tobacco and swearing “she-it”, probably followed by “goddam”.

Why Dave Barry is God
From a 1992 Column in the Miami Herald Tribune: Speaking of true quotations, please repeat the statement that Sonda Ward of Nashville, Tenn., swears she heard made by a man expressing concern to a woman who had been unable to get a ride to a church function.
He said: ‘‘Estelle, if I’d a knowed you’d a want to went, I’d a seed you’d a got to get to go.’’ Please un-retire Dave, please.

Bawstan Bound
A week in Massachusetts from 9th-14th. Staying in Framingham, working in Hopkinton. I was in Boston once in 1996 whilst I was working in Silicon Valley and I met up with Catherine there. Great place. Felt small even tho it wasn’t. Brass Monkey weather in November. Looks like it isn’t too cold there now. I’ve already Google Mapped my way from the hotel to CompUSA, Toys R Us, Best Buy and Baby Gap.

Loo Blog
Saw a funny cartoon in The New Yorker (courtesy of sis Fiona) yesterday about guy sitting in traffic, blogging his utterly banal whinges in real-time. Today, I read that Google have launched Blogging from your Mobile Phone. US only for now but hopefully I’ll be able to blog my musing from the lav some day soon.

Tim Nice But Dim
Well it was obvious since Paul was fired but what a disappointment. Tim has not excelled once in the entire series of The Apprentice. Can you think of one thing he did where you went “wow”? The series for me consists of some great scenes involving Paul, James and Saira.
But maybe that’s what Sugar wants - an average MOR guy who won’t challenge him and will do what he is told.
