Back to the Bay

my meeting is over. the end of dull meetings and room service for awhile :). it's always nice to get home after traveling. i used to have a furry friend waiting for me. chester (more commonly called simply "gato") my loyal cat companion for 16 years, passed away a few months ago. i miss him so much.

i had a conversation about children with some colleagues recently. they were sharing their child-raising experiences (some of them down-right terrifying!). after making my way through my inevitable response (something resembling an equation) to the inevitable "having children" question one of the ladies said "well, you know, pets can be very rewarding". hehe.

so on that note, i am sharing chester with you. he had just enjoyed munching on a plant.
