I'm in a hotel room in Baton Rouge, about to head into the office. Today will mostly be company meetings; the rest of this week has been consulting and meetings and traveling to Lafayette. And eating lots of good food, and hanging out with friends - I'll be doing more of that tonight, then driving back to Alabama in the morning.

The family reunion was great. I'll have to post some pictures of that, along with the promised pictures of the house. We stayed in a little bed and breakfast in Center, Texas, population about 5,000. The accommodations and service were comically bad, but the event was a lot of fun. My family is spread all over the country, and we rarely see each other, but we're unmistakably family. Everyone is as fun as I remember - with some fun new additions, of course. My cousin David and I greeted each other with "you haven't changed a bit" - we haven't seen each other in maybe ten years. As much as we've all grown and our circumstances have changed, it's remarkable to me how much all the personalities have stayed the same.

Well, it's off to work. Pictures are coming soon, I promise.
