It's a hard life
I went ahead and moved all my pics to picasa web albums (thanks for the suggestion Adnan), so all is now well with my bandwidth. I am also posting a couple of videos, which you can find here.
This morning I went into the office, and by 1pm Sathya and I took off. We had decided that in the office it was too difficult to get any significant chunk of time to plan without being interrupted, distracted, or have Sathya pulled away to some other meeting. So, we had lunch, and then according to our agenda we came back to my hotel where we spent the next 4 to 5 hours creating a plan as to how best to achieve the goals that have been set forth by the powers that be. It was a very productive session - sometimes it is very helpful to be away from other distractions so that one can focus on completing the task at hand. It was also rather pleasant - we sat at a shaded table in perfect weather next to the pool, me sipping at the sweet lime juice that they serve here that I have really come to like, and Sathya at coffee (even in 85F weather). Yes, I realize it's a tough life being a manager, but someone has to do it.
Lunch update - we had lunch at "Noodle Shop" in the food court at Spencer Plaza. I thought it was going to be Japanese-style food, but it turned out to be all things Thai and Chinese that have noodles in them. So, I had the Pad Thai, which is a favorite of mine, and it was pretty yummy.
Sorry, no pictures today.

And You better never ever call me from this phone! :)
Well, Eric - it's looking like a vacation for sure! Glad to see you are taking in the sights. We miss you here, but are confident that you will come home energized and poised for success. Now, make sure you actually go into the Old Curiosity Shop. Okay?
