The family gathered in Fort Lauderdale at the Seawatch restaurant to celebrate Dad's 89th birthday. Lauren, Amy, and I were the big surprise.
Everyone had a great time and lots of good food and conversation.
Happy Birthday Dad!!
Finnish composer Jean Sibelius welcomes me (well, sort of welcomes me. He doesn't look too welcoming, does he?) to a brief business visit to Helsinki in February 2008...
Spain was wonderful! I spent a day in Bilbao covering every inch of the amazing Guggenheim Museum, then traveled to Santander for the 24th Annual Publisher's Conference. I participated in a round table on RRO Solutions for Digital Uses, and then had a final half day of sightseeing before heading home.
The people, food, ambiance, and scenery were all completely delightful. And I got to practice my very, very rusty Spanish skills thanks to the patience and endurance of my hosts.
