Saturday Night at Home

It’s been a long time since I’ve even been home on a Saturday evening. I can’t remember the last Saturday I was at home. Let’s see …

Last week, I was working on OpenXmlDeveloper.org, the final push before going live Tuesday morning. Before the sun went down, I stepped outside and shot a picture of my new cell phone behind Building 16.

A week before that, I finished a long day of sightseeing in Mysore with flights from Bangalore to Mumbai, Amsterdam, and Seattle.

A week before that, I was on the way to Bangalore, after picking up my passport and Indian visa at the Sea-Tac FedEx office. My itinerary had three flights, ending with a coach-class trip from Mumbai to Bangalore at 3:00AM.

A week before that … well, OK, it wasn’t really work related, but it was exhausting and thousands of miles from home: the all-night Carnival parade through the Sambodromo in Sao Paulo. Somebody had to do it!

A week before that, I was on the way to Sao Paulo.

And a week before that, six weeks ago, was the last time I had a Saturday evening at home.

Tonight, Megan cooked vegi-stuffed peppers, delicious and healthy. Fish patrolled the table until the food arrived. It’s nice to be home.

  1. This seems to be a recurring theme this weekend, Fish looming large in the foreground with Megan in the background.
