Seventeen syllables in the rain

Today, 05-07-05, is seen by some as Haiku Day. On this day, choose Haiku as poetry. On others, choose Haiku as a place in Hawaii.

National Weather Service: "quite an impressive coastal storm for so late in the season with WV loop showing classic comma configuration. ... impressive isentropic lift and frontogenetic forcing wraps northwest from the ocean."

Don't tell the bad guys. An anti-terrorism drill at Logan Airport in Boston has been postponed because of today's stormy weather. The apparel industry, though, is ready. But, talk about your weapons of mass destruction - there are news reports of an Iranian bid for MG-Rover.

Oliver Wendell Holmes characterized the State House in Boston as the hub of the solar system. Since then, Boston is often call The Hub. It seemed a bit odd that a news story from CBC Charlottetown would carry this headline: Stones to rock hub city. Oh, wait, Moncton?

Adam took Sandra to breakfast for Mother's Day yesterday. It was a fine visit. Last year, he and I went out for lunch on Father's Day. We sat and talked for a couple of hours. It's not often that we get a chance for unbroken time like that.

My manager stopped by my office this week to talk about my assignments for the upcoming release. Much of the work will focus on our products' support for NFS V4. I'll also continue to provide systems and tools work. He was also encouraging about long-term, permanent prospects. He couldn't make commitments yet because there are other gears in motion elsewhere in the organization. All the same, I was pleased.

Which is a good thing, because today's automated job search for technical documentation positions turned up leads for:
  • Preschool Director in Gardner, Kansas
  • Accessories Developer for a company in Santa Fe Spring, California, that design, markets, and distributes snowboard boots and bindings, helmet, and pads.
Happy 80th Birthday, TJL.
