Good old MBNA is gone, but the buildings remain, some of them—at least the one I used to work in—and they still have art on the walls and the trademark green awnings. Security isn't so paranoid, and the suits and ties are gone. I saw a lot of familiar faces, many who had, like me, returned as contractors. I enjoyed my three years away, but I think I'll enjoy being back. For one thing, I'm doing actual tech writing again instead of audits. I hate audits—I'm a creative, not a bean counter. To you Myers-Briggs folks, that's NT instead of SJ. (Google it, or take the test here.) Val returned pretty tired from the trip to Omaha, but she learned a lot and is rarin' to go on starting up the new office for Home Instead. Her furniture arrives Friday. She got to find out why I brag about being Minnesotan—the temp hit 25 below while she was there. I finished the book about the Pythagorean theorem (That theorem is everywhere) and the poetry writing book is good—I'm practicing quatrains of trochaic tetrameter. The first line of Mary had a little Lamb is trochaic tetrameter. So it sounds fancy, but it's not hard. That is all I'll write tonight. Leave a comment if you see this. Then I'll know I need to be a little careful what I write.
