As I am writing this Duncan is using my lap as a jungle gym. He has not left me alone since I have gotten home. It is nice to feel loved but this is getting a little ridiculous. The boys have been getting accustomed to their new digs. We have opened a wall and let them have run of the upstairs for the time being. So there has been much to explore and to smell. I guess the computer is as good a place as any for Duncan to sit upon. I’m going to have to get a stand for the computer and push it back further, it keeps hitting my knees.

Today after my flights, sorry but they went well today so nothing to rant about. I even got first class from Philly to PVD. Not sure how that happened but it also happened on the way out from PVD to Philly. And we had no close calls on the landings so that was good.

Anyway, on the way home after my flights I stopped at Best Buy to get some hands on opinion of some cameras that I am looking into. They are the Canon SD line. I looked at the 7MP SD800 and the 10MP SD900. I still have to do more research on them both but they look like winners. And they took some really nice pictures. Here is a side-by-side features comparison at Digital Photography Review.

First I would like to say that today;s is my Mom’s birthday so Happy Birthday Mom! I’m looking forward to going out to dinner with Mom Dad and Allison on Thursday night to celebrate.

Also please keep a dear friend of our family in your prayers. I just found out from Allison last night that my sister’s good friend Jack is in a coma. Jack as you may remember ran the Cape Cod Marathon this past year in his best time ever. Please keep Jack in your prayers.

Tonight I am still in Maryland and the demonstrations went well. We had a bit of a connection glitch but it worked out well. The day was long and I was pretty tired but I was able to do all my demonstrations. I got a lot of practice on the new scripts too.

When the demo day was over I went back to the hotel and caught up on Best Week Ever Videos on my iPod. I also realized that I can start another month of PPP blogging and try to get as close to $500 without going over. I end up front loading on posts the beginning of the month and quickly get to $500.00. Now I have two friends who are posting for PPP, Autumn of Autumn’s Space and Maureen of We’re in a Fight.

We went to O’Leary’s for dinner tonight. That is the fish outside the restaurant in the photo today. The food there was so delicious. I had an incredible lobster bisque, calamari and the most delicious crab cake ever. I have not been a fan of crab cakes because what I have experienced of crab cakes in the past just does not do crab cakes justice. This crab cake was almost 100% lump crab meat with so very little filler that I questioned how it all stayed together. Here is a picture of it, it just doesn’t do the dish justice.

I will have to make sure to get crab cakes again in Maryland. They were incredible. This one even beat the ones from Sunday night.
