Tue evening - back from Spain

We are back home! Spent Memorial Day weekend plus one extra day in Spain, doing some wedding planning. We didn't have a whole lot of time but at least we got to see my brother, Alicia and Bet, and spend time with my parents. We visited Montserrat and talked to the people in charge there, as well as the reception place. A few details to work out, but so far so good.

The Continental flights weren't the greatest. On the positive side, the flights aren't much longer than out of JFK, barely a few minutes. The other good thing is that the onboard entertainment is all on-demand with LCDs on the seat rests, and they had a few decent movies. That makes time fly. On the negative side, seats arrangements are awful. Their computer system isn't as polished as Delta's for example, so they scatter people who book together all over the plane. We were split both times, but managed to re-arrange on the way back at least. We talked to 3 other couples who were all split, pretty bad. The other negative side is the traffic back to the city through the tunnel, very slow.

We are pretty tired, I imagine we will go to bed soon.

Thu

Preparing for trip to Spain, have to pack up tonight. We both just got home, and Nicole walked Bogie.

My 4x2 HDMI splittler/switch arrived today, cool. Not sure I will have time to set it up, in fact I already know I won't, so it will have to wait until I get back.

AI Finale

Tonight was the American Idol Finale, surprisingly, at least to me, Kris Allen won. Adam was way cooler. In any event, it was quite a show, all of Hollywood in attendance at the Kodak theater. They brought in Kiss, Rod Stewart, Keith Urban, Lionel Richie, Queen, etc. It was great to watch. Going to bed soon now.

EDIT: Good article about it on today's NYTimes.

Mon

Cold weather again. Isn't it supposed to be summer or something? 50s or worse, people with winter coats on the streets of the city again. Had lunch with Hans and Tom at California Pizza Kitchen, it was OK. Got home a bit ago, standard Monday. Had a bit of a headache by the time I got home. Had cake for dessert .
