A Quickie from on the Road

If only the experience was anything as good as the title implies. I'm surviving! Iowa was the pits - rain, lot's of it though I did have a great veal chop and shrimp cocktail at the Paxton Chop House in Omaha. Spent 3.5 whole hours with the Pulisha household. I send my applause to them for maintaining their humor in the face of the three child, two job chaos. I'm now halfway between LA and Palm Desert in Riverside, CA taking time in a Podolny Group Branch (Starbucks for the uninitiated) to check up on my email. Meeting tonight and on to the Bay area tomorrow along with conjugal visit with Mrs. de-I whose joining me for the weekend.
