Beginning

So the new job is off to a good start. I like my new boss a lot, the commuter rail is working out fine so far, my assistant is cool and I have a great office. My workload is heavy but very interesting and varied. Tomorrow is my first "drive in" day and features a big meeting at 8 AM with some heavy hitters. On Tuesday I meet The Lawyers, which is a sort of vaguely big deal. My main problem is that the free "house coffee" stinks, and I am having to pay up each morning to keep fully fueled. Now I remember why, during my previous tenure with this organization, I brought a thermos most days.

Also, a big kiss to my darling Abby, who opened a show on Friday night at Artstream in Rochester, New Hampshire. Check out her post, with links, here. I love the picture, too. It captures Abby very well. The show is going great thus far, and I remain far prouder of all three of "my girls" than I do of my own meager and pathetic accomplishments.
