It's 4:45 AM and I just got back from the office. Of course, it's partially my own fault that I was there at such ungodly hours, but still, it strongly adds to the thesis that I am seriously deranged. One amazing facet was this working day and night was the video conference. It worked. At the first try. Nor did it disconnect for the entire hour. This is something of a record, as video conferencing my experience is one of those technologies that is not quite there yet. Virtually every video conference I have attended prior to this one resulted in dropped connections if we managed to connect in the first place.

The reason I am running out of time is that at 8 AM my flight leaves. The good news is that I am going on vacation (finally!). The bad news is that I still have to pack. Over the next ten days I'll be doing some serious skiing in the Colorado Rockies, or more precisely, in Vail. I will be taking a laptop with me, but blogging will be very light until I return in a refreshed state and without any broken limbs if possible.

And now I really have to run off to stuff my suitcase.
