Finally Friday!!

This week was a good one, but a long one -- And today was all about catching up with what I needed to do after having been out. I spent the middle of the week in Phoenix at a conference, which was really good. In fact, it was one of the more productive, and nicer ones I've been at. I gave a presentation on the current project I'm working on with our client and one of the guys that is working with me. It went really well, despite the fact that not many people were there -- seems that we had the 4:45 time slot on Wednesday, same time as Happy Hour!

Anyway, got home late last night to Pei Wei that Katie had brought home for me -- very nice of her, and delicious.

This morning the boys found the goodies I brought home for them -- lots of schwag from the vendors, and a new lovie for their crew: an Arizona Coyote! Jackson immediately adopted his into the family. Porter even sat with his in the Big Red Chair this afternoon watching a bit of a show.

This morning I went to have lunch w/ Jackson and his class after running some errands around the neighborhood. I spent some time on project stuff during the day, but after just a few hours, I was caught up and really had put in my hours for the week, so the rest of the day, I spent with Porter / Katie, getting my toes done, playing guitar, and relaxing.

Tonight is a birthday party for one of the boys' friends in the neighborhood --Catherine -- and the kids are at the party at the Children's Museum. After that we're all going to meet at the Museum of Fine Arts for an opening (Kenneth Noland: the nature of color) and probably have a bite to eat -- if the kids can make it!
