Back in the Saddle

So, I'm back working a job in consulting. It's not what I wanted, but the job isn't half bad. I go to Connecticut a couple of days a week, will be there three days a week the last two weeks of July and probably for full weeks at go-live at the beginning of August. The payoff? Supporting the customer from home once they are live with SAP. I miss my dogs, but I know it's short-term pain for a sort of long-term good deal.

Not all that exciting except for the drive home from Manchester, CT on Thursday. I drove through much of that crazy, torrential rain. It was amazing how the rain went so fast from a few drops to an absolute pounding wall of water. Usually I rave about how beautiful the drive is, both going and coming home. The Berkshires of western Massachusetts are lovely, and just about the entire drive in New York is sweet: Hudson Valley, the capitol region of Albany and then Saratoga Springs through the lower Adirondacks all the way back to Willsboro. And once I reached the Adirondacks Thursday, I had the prettiest clear skies and mountain views. We're still having way too much rain in my neck of the woods, but it's better than that rain in Connecticut and Massachusetts yesterday!
