Back from Rome!
No, not Rome Italy, but Rome, New York! Oy' what a way to spend a morning. Up at 5am, on the road at 6am, and in Rome by 9am. On the bright side, the meeting was well worth it and upon arriving back in Rochester, I was treated to a very nice lunch at 2 Vine thanks to the Canadian Consulate! All in all, not a bad day. It's 3pm as I write this, and I'm about ready to call it a day (which is kind of sad) as I'm almost out of it.
I've got a couple meetings tomorrow, but neither will require too much on my part. Of course, if the second meeting results in a nice $3000 check, that would sure be nice. That would really wrap up a fantastic week so far. And if the first meeting results in anything, that would be nice too!
Otherwise, nothing else too interesting to report. I've got to buy my flight tickets for NYC today or I'm not going (yeah, right). That should be interesting. I've never been to Brookhaven National Lab before, and the project we're going down to discuss should be interesting. I'll post more when I get a chance.

One more for today...
I didn't like that first post, but for the sake of honesty, I'm not going to take it down. It read like one of those "Ispo facto" style texts that you find in some pre-formed template! As I'm typing this I'm also talking to my dad on IM about our excellent meetings of the day. Things are really coming along great with our company, it seems... just a couple things need to fall into place and it looks like we'll be in great shape. There are soooooo many good pieces coming into place, it just needs one to fall and the rest will slide in.
Anyway, other than business, there's a lot of neato' stuff going on. If you didn't happen to catch it from the description of this weblog, I'm engaged!
I'm engaged to the best women in the world! As soon as I get my scanner back, I'll be sure to post pictures. We scheduled our wedding date for next October, to be held at the Inn on Broadway. We've got the place and a floor of rooms set aside already, plus catering and the cake are taken care of. Now we just need to deal with about a million OTHER things to get this whole thing planned. Of course, I'm kindof enjoying the whole thing... even if there are about a million little things to think about. Julie and I went to a wedding show a couple days ago and had a great time blasting the horrible dresses in their fashion show. LOL
What an ordeal to get to the show, I might add... It was about 48 degrees outside.. the wind was blowing like crazy, and almost every street was blocked off downtown due to a charity cancer walk that was going on. I figured it would result in light attendance at the wedding show, but, um, apparently these women were intent on getting in! We practically had to push our way through all the brides-to-be, mothers, and a few grooms to get around the circuit.
Well, I'm sure a whole bunch of other exciting stuff will happen and will get posted in the not-too-distant future. I've got to get to bed early tonight. Going to Rome, NY tomorrow and the meeting starts at 9am. UGH... that means I have to be ON THE ROAD at 6:30am. Which mean I have to be out of the house at 6am... which means I have to be up and in the shower at 5am. Maybe for some people that's no big fucking deal, but for me, that's a big fucking pain in the ass!
Cheers'

First message!
Well, I've finally managed to join the rest of the universe and set up my own Weblog. If you're here already, you probably know me - lucky you! What should you expect here? Well, for the time being, nothing much. But hopefully over time there'll be plenty of photos of me, my fiancee', my house, my cat, and all sorts of other good stuff. If you're wondering why this is the Absinthe Weblog, well, I'm a big fan of the stuff, and my AIM personality is either AbsintheBleu or AbsintheOrange. Bleu is a reference to LaBleu, which is one of the best from Switzerland. Orange is really a play on Agent Orange, or perhaps Kubrick's Clockwork Orange. Eitherway, I couldn't get AbsintheGreen... which would have been ideal. Oh well.
Guess it's now time to post this first message and get to formatting this darn thing. Cheers'
