Hell is the knowledge of opportunity lost; the place where
the man I am comes face to face with the man I might have been.

Grand Rapids, MI

 Well, I ended up having to travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan to do the kick-off for my project. I'm in a boring area near a mall and various strip malls. Picture a subruban AnyTown, USA with too many strip malls and a mixture of single family homes in varying degrees of disrepair and decently maintained. I'm not in a very affluent section of town.

I really wish I could see downtown GR, but I couldn't get there yesterday or today. It's OK, I found a great restaurant (The Green Well) that wasn't too far away (though the ride was creepy -- I'm not a fan of wooded areas, city boy here, what can I say).

I'm heading home tomorrow afternoon, and I'm hoping the roads won't be too much of a cluster fuck. Between Michigan and Chicago, the potential for snow in the next 18 hours is not in my favor. Yeah, I rented a car and drove here.

Anyway, weekend ... yay! I gotta drop off the car first then I'll head out to the company Happy Hour for a lil bit. I have dinner rez with the wife @ 7PM (The Publican), and then I'm going to go home and pass out. Saturday, 9AM training session, and then ... BE USELESS?!??!!? Who knows, I wouldn't mind popping out for a lil bit on Saturday ... depends on how crazy The Publican gets. Mmmm ... pig's heart.

Alrighty, I should probably pack up now. Or just sit on my not-so-comfy category one hotel bed. Note to self ... when I'm back here for hand-off in a few weeks, I'm getting a better hotel. For seriously.
