We're back after a lovely week in Portland where (unlike Denver a couple of weeks ago) the weather was actually cooler than it is here in Houston. We had a great time, and of course everyone loved seeing Olivia. Tiffany and I are at peace with the idea that we're just the Olivia delivery service.

Though the plane trip was uneventful, I've no idea how Olivia will deal with the time difference. She woke up at 5:30 AM on our first morning in Portland, which bodes ill - if we get her to sleep by 10 PM tonight, I'll be thrilled. Thankfully, we've got the weekend to get back into the regular routine.

As for me, I'll actually in the studio tomorrow for the regular BizRadio 1320 AM gig. I'll be the fill-in cohost, so I'll be there for the full show, from 10 to noon. It should be available via streaming audio - see here for more.

Later in the day, I plan to be at Pete's shindig. I'm thinking a beer and some snarky conversation will be just the thing. Come join in if you're around.

And somewhere in the midst of all this, regular posting will resume. Possibly tonight, if the jet lag gets me, too. We'll see if skipping the Diet Cokes today was a good idea or not.
