Return to work

I am not sure if it seemed like more or less than three months.  Pip and Viv were definitely getting a bit rammy the last few weeks and I was sure they were ready for a routine again.  Megan has undoubtedly developed a personality and often times seems older than a mere 14 weeks.  So I have to say that actually the timing felt right.  Pip and Viv went to summer camp and Meg to daycare this week.  And I too work! 

My first day back I drove in lamenting that I hadn't printed a picture of her to hang in my cube.  Then I turned into my little space and found this waiting for me.  Thanks Saritha and Chris!  Totally made my day!!


 I missed my loves.  But I knew they were in good hands and I enjoyed getting dressed up in work clothes again, showering before 7am, and joining in the pulse of commuter traffic.  After work I went to golf with the ladies and as I drove home I heard an interview with George RR Martin on NPR.  I am loving Game of Thrones on HBO.  Phil is a huge fan of his A Song of Ice and Fire series and I heard them announce the next installment was out that day.  So I made a game time decision to pick up a copy for Phil on my way home.  The local Barnes and Noble was a mad house.  Turns out George RR was there doing a book signing!  The line was out and around as far as I could see, so I skipped it and went inside to get the book.  He was right there, though, in plain sight so I grabbed this pic!

At the checkout I made some small talk with the cashier who offered me an autographed copy at no extra charge.  Not sure if it is commonplace to have extra copies like that behind the counter when a signing is taking place, but I felt special indeed.

What a day!
