Got a nice early start this morning at around 6:30. Suzy rolled out of bed quicker than I did (thank goodness) and we did a dead run from 7:00 to 7:15 to the Timonium, MD Light Rail station so she could catch the connection downtown and get over to UMBC before her class. The train arrived about 15 seconds after we did, which was pretty cool.

I've got so much lined up for this weekend it isn't even funny. Even though Playa del Fuego is still two months away, it feels like its looming overhead every day.

Update 17:58: At O'Donnell Honda Service Center in Ellicott City, MD on their free Internet. Headed to Arbutus to pick up Suzy then to the UPS Pickup Center off I-95 for her Handspring Visor delivery, then up to Owings Mills for a consultation with a co-worker on a wireless setup, then over to Parkville to pack my luggage, hit the supermarket, grab a bite to eat and head off to Ocean City for a relaxing trip. I hope...
