Kevin's musings

So far an excellent day of lounging around and catching up with the
family. The weather was super nice in the morning, we talked out
on a balcony overlooking the golf course and watched the
woodpeckers, pidgeons and quail. Then we went down to the pool
and relaxed down there. It was reasonable for a while,
especially with cold drinks, but then it started getting africa
hot, so I bailed back to the room. We are having a big family
dinner in a bit, so that should be nice.

Some
pictures from this morning and this afternoon here.

Headed out to the airport around 6pm and made it there with a good
deal of time to spare, which was good, as I had to park in the
Mt. Elbert lot which is really really far from anywhere. Checked
in and went through security, which as usuall I managed to have
to be wanded. No idea what set it off, but it always seems to
happen to me. My plane was leaving from gate B61. This is the
gate on the very farthest end of the B concourse. After walking
for quite some time I made it there with about 15min to spare
before boarding. Walking past the guy at the gate, we went down
a long passageway, down some stairs, around a corner and then
finally outside accross the tarmac to the steps leading up to
the plane. It was then that I realized that I had booked a
United flight “run by mesa airlines”. It was a pretty small jet,
but reasonably comfy. Got into tucson about 10min early and met
my sister. After a quick pickup of my bag we drove up to the
resort. It’s a pretty posh place (good thing we are getting
really good rates on the rooms). The wireless here is $10/day,
but I don’t mind paying that too much as the rooms are so
cheap. Time to pass out.

Well, I think I am all packed up and ready to head out for the
weekend. Hopefully I will have wireless access at the
resort. They claim to have some, but don’t say much about it. If
I do I will try and post some updates from there. Otherwise it
will be monday when I get back. Have a good one everyone.

Recap of the last few days:

Monday was the
CLUE North
meeting. It was a nice time. Efm gave a talk on Linux distributions
that was well received and then a group went over to the
cb potts
and had beers and snacks and conversation. They are a good group of
folks. I need to remind myself to go to the meetings now that
they are really close to my house.

Tuesday and Wed were both pretty relaxing. Not much going on. Tuesday
night was supposed to be the first session in the D&D game that
is just starting up, but it turns out it’s not good schedule
wise this week. Everyone but me is going to meet up thursday and
make up characters and such and then we will have the first
session on tuesday next week.

Need to get ready for this weekend’s trip. I am heading out friday
night for tucson and coming back monday morning. We are having a
family gathering with the whole family at
Westin La Paloma Resort
in Tucson. (Warning: tons of anoying flash). Should be a nice easy
going time.
