It's a little slow this week; Projects are on stand-down, many people are taking their use-or-lose leave. I'm reviewing some literature for one of my projects. Sintering is both fun AND educational.
Some friends from church that work on the Arsenal and I decided to meet up for lunch at the Redstone Officers and Civilians Club (ROCC), to sample the German cuisine at the Spirit of Soldatenstube. I had: schnitzel, sauerkraut, fried potatoes, boiled cabbage, and two sausages that were described thusly, "this one's like a hotdog and this one's like a sausage." They also had a salad bar (which I missed) and soft-serve ice-cream (which I did not miss).
Overall impression: Vunderbar!

Meetings: None of Us are as Dumb as All of Us
I had two VERY different meeting today.
The first one was a visit from Robert Lightfoot, the Marshall Space Flight Center Director. He's been popping in at various building across the Center, as a way of taking our collective temperature. There were good questions from the group, and I learned a few things. Overall, a good hour-or-so.
The second meeting was a safety meeting. The focus this month was Health; specifically the many benefits of massage. Man, that was WEIRD. We wrapped it up with a tech brief on Lean Engineering. I'm proud to say that I remembered practically nothing from my time as a Lean Engineer.
Tomorrow: office Christmas lunch. Woohoo!

Bon App-etite
Well, it appears that someone actually requested an update. So, here it is.
2011 has been fairly eventful: I spoke at a conference, Jennifer got a new car, our volleyball team actually won a few games, we ran the Huntsville Half Marathon (improved our time by 17 minutes!), and I'm trying out the Blogger app.
Maybe more soon, maybe not.

Twenty Eleven
Well, 2010 didn't go out with a bang, more like a "meh." Hopefully 2011 ("twenty eleven," not "two thousand eleven," and certainly NOT "two thousand AND eleven") will be a good one. 2010 had some interesting times, hopefully 2011 will only be better.
Jennifer and I stayed in Huntsville this year. I think it's the first time I've not been in Memphis for the event. We were joined here at the house with Jeff and Morgan & Jen. There was plenty to eat: cocktails sausages and cookies from Morgan & Jen, some barbecue pulled pork from Jeff, and pizza, pigs-in-a-blanket, and killer cheese dip from us. I had plenty. We spent the evening playing board games and Wii, finally ringing in the new year at midnight. Dick Clark really needs to retire - seeing him post-stroke is extremely depressing.
