A funny thing happened on the way to lunch

So today was the going away lunch with the people I formerly worked with. It was a little strange having a going away lunch after already leaving, but it was only by a couple of days. Lunch was good, although some people weren't able to make it. But I did get a chance to pass out some of my personal cards. I had them made up so I wouldn't have to jot down email or phone number on the back of napkins or on corners of paper.

I'll be passing out more at the Blue Bonnet on Thursday. Karoake night and the last chance to really hang out with people from this area. Maybe I'll even get the DJ to say, "Wonderboy has left the building." For those not in the know, Wonderboy (by Tenacious D) is one of my go-to karoake songs, and a crowd favorite.

Anyway, back to the lunch story. When I got in my car this morning and turned it on, the engine coolant light came on. Again. A few months ago I took my car in because it was low on coolant and they couldn't find the leak. Now it's low again. So I had to drop it off at the dealership and hurry to lunch. I got there a minute or two late, and was still the first person there! The other guest of honor showed up like half an hour late. But I still enjoyed it.

Other news... The movers and packers are coming on Thursday and Friday. It is possible that both could happen on Thursday, but I am guessing that won't be the case. In any case, Friday night I'll check into one of the airport hotels so I can get to my flight Saturday morning. I splurged and went first class which my knees will thank me for later, and probably my back. Although my liver won't be so happy.

That's all for now... I apologize that these posts are getting less coherent.
