And off she goes again

After a whirlwind week at work - I swear my head is still spinning! But much money for traveling :) I went with my manager (aka Number 4) and facilitators to a dinner sponsored by Johnson and Johnson, with a wound care presentation. The presentation sucked. The weather sucked (rain. much rain), and many people didn't show. The food and drink? Amazing! V. nice Italian restaurant in Rego Park, I snagged some business cards and maybe our Ork holiday party will be there.

Alas I did not have my camera with me to photo the food ala JM and Koala, but we had many appetizers: clams, stuffed mushrooms, mozzarella sticks, rolled eggplant thingie which has fancy Italian name which I forget. Then salads, entres and canolis for dessert. Huge bottles of wine on the table, which was very good tho i had to switch to coke after one glass since I had been conned into asked to drive.

We were the last to leave, with doggie bags in tow, and Number 4 cracked me up by asking the waiters for corks so we could take the wine. I got a huge full bottle of white, and will take it with me on my weekend - just hope the cork holds!

And tomorrow am, after slight detour to auto parts store as my car headlight is out *again*, am off to the Delaware water gap for hiking and Irish dancing. :) No cell phone reception much less computer so again Chuck gets left behind. He deserves a rest, esp now as he needs to prepare for Nano.

Back sometime Sunday, all depending on the Ninth Circle of Hell George Washington Bridge.
