I just got back from buying groceries at this place around the corner. It's great because they have a huge cheese and olives selection. They even had chorizo Revilla today , I bought a couple, along with a big container full of olives (of course) and some Manchego cheese, and a few more things.

Good day at work, looks like we may be able to close business with another client tomorrow or Friday. I may have to fly out to Denver mid next week.

The weather continues to be amazing, it is 76 right now!

Got an email from Marlena, a friend. Her cell phone was stolen at a bar last night, she is getting a new one today.

Also heard from Jordi today. He wanted me to remind him of a sentence by Margaret Thatcher that illustrated her general attitude. The sentence goes like this: "I am an extremely patient person, as long as I ultimately get my way."

I may go out for a bit later, I am not tired at all today.

Long days at work this week, lots going on. Exchanged emails with Kaye today, she is as busy as I am all week. Maybe we'll hang out next week.

I've confirmed that Jose (also known as Pep or Pipi in English ) will be in town around May 7, and will stay with me for a few days.

Talked to Bill for quite a while this evening, hadn't done so in a few days. He is doing fine, he has a lecture he has to prepare this Saturday and he is a bit stressed

Also talked to Karsten and Yvonne a few days back, they're expecting their second baby. It's due for Christmas, they are very happy.

Sounds like my friend Jose from Spain may be visiting in a month or two. Also, Christina, Hans' sister, will be in town next month, I'm sure we'll hang out, she's cool. She's an artist.

I have some pics from Texas, from the NASCAR race. Going to eat something now, maybe I'll post them tomorrow.
