Silicon Valley and The Nikon Returns
It’s not every day I get a call from Palo Alto, California. Heck, most days I don’t get work-related phone calls from even within the company. But yesterday, my phone started ringing, and the caller id said “Palo Alto, CA.” It was just a salesperson regarding an email I had sent him, but it was still kinda cool.
My sister, while fiddling with my camera (which has been out of commission for a week or so) got it working again! This is probably the third time that I have had a problem with it that appears to warrant the purchasing of a new camera, but the Nikon rides again! I’m stoked, because we would not have been buying a digital camera anytime soon…
Speaking of my sister, we will be departing relatively soon for the airport, as she is to return back to the east coast. Lucky. It’s been really great having her out here with us for a few days, but it has gone by fast, and after having Crystal here for a month, Sara’s visit seems really short! I love my sister, and did I mention she brought us Dunkin Donuts coffee? I’m going to go brew some right now.
I’ve had several pounds of Dunkin Donuts coffee aging to perfection in my freezer for some time now.
That’s unfortunate. You should send some to me via interoffice mail.
10 days and I will be back in Dunkin Donuts country. Joe, if I drank coffee, I’d drink a cup in honor of you.
It’s Ok. You can send some to me via interoffice mail also. By interoffice mail, of course, I mean FedEx.
That’s awesome you are almost home. Good luck Tim!
In honor of the next few hours off, I purchased “The World is Flat” by Thomas Friedman and will now attempt to read it before driving tomorrow. I don’t think its gonna happen…but I’ve got started anyway.
Speaking of Friedman, I was showing Sara some of my books, and we came across The Lexus and the Olive Tree. When I said “That’s about globalization” she responded with “What’s that?” One would think that after taking a semester of a class called “Globalization” I would actually have an answer. I didn’t.
