I got hep-A

And 3 other shots yesterday in case we go to India. Now, anyone who knows me at all can take a wild stab at just how excited I am about the prospect of going to India. Put it this way, Kellie couldn't get me to disembark the Singapore tour-bus at the "Little India" stop while we were there. I mean, imagine a place for which you still need a polio vaccine to visit. I have malaria pills! Granted, I'm extremely fortunte to have visited 13 countries in my lifetime and can't wait to add a bunch more, but.... India? Maybe we can go to Hollywood and find the set for Outsourced and call it a day.

Anyone want to hang out in Ireland in April? Part of Kellie's plan for the first 6 weeks is to make a trip to Cork to visit with the Europe team, and I may tag-along depending on the work situation. Part of MY plan for the first 6 weeks involves Bali.

Today I have to pick up our rental car as we are planning to turn in our Hondas this week. This is bumming me out as my short-lived love affair with my hatch-backed rocketship is coming to end. I love this car. For those who don't know, it's a black Accord Crosstour, and it hauls noodles. The car only has 8,500 miles on it. The good news is that upon our triumphant return from the Far East, I get to outfit us with new rides.

This just in (seriously 30 seconds ago), I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon at EMC about some perspective job opportunuties! I look at it this way, it's costing EMC a pantload to relocate my fat-ass half-way around the world, if there's an organization that should benefit from my being in country, it should be EMC. Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if I got there and started working at HP? Anyone know someone at HP just in case?  :)

Thanks to all of you for reading this, it should get more interesting when we're over in Singapore. I'm sure I'll have some terrific pictures, and my goal is to pick up a flip camera so I can share video as well. To date, the blog has been viewed more than 400 times, which is mind-bottling. If any tech-savvy folks want to help me make this more fun for readers, here are some widgets I want to add: a better currency converter that is just from Sing Dollars to America Dollars, current time and temp in Singapore (with conversion from C to F), a map of where I am, that kind of stuff.

While in S'pore in December, Kellie and I enjoyed one of the single greatest eating experiences in recent history. Nothing like sitting outside on a beach near the water, letting someone else order all the best foods, having some cold Tiger beer, and strapping on the feedback. Anyone who knows anything about food in Singapore (or who watched Top Chef) has heard of Chili Crab. It's terrific. Here's the food network's take on this Spicy Singapore Staple: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/singapore-style-chili-crabs-recipe/index.html
