Okay, so it is my grandmother’s 90th birthday this coming week, and as I type this I am sitting on a plane headed to New York City with Monica and Alijah to join the festivities. This will actually be the first time we have had so many family members together at once since Monica and I were married back in 2002. Looks like everyone will be there except for one of my younger brothers. Luckily (or unluckily depending on how you look at it) I have a total of six brothers and sisters, so while one missing does suck, we will still have a lively bunch.

I got an email earlier today from Chris Pirillo that had no body. The subject read “What are you doing tonight 7-10pm? ?” As soon as I saw it, I knew he was either asking me out on a date or inviting me to be a part of his weekly podcast radio show. I listen to Chris regularly, and would have jumped at the chance – but alas, tonight is the night that we are leaving for New York. Our JetBlue flight didn’t depart until 11:59, so I was very tempted to try and make it to the show and then head to the airport. Monica advised against it. Here’s hoping that Chris has space for me somewhere in the next couple of weeks. Heck, I would just enjoy having the opportunity to be there while the show is being recorded, just to see how it all goes down. I will keep you updated. Either way, I will be seeing Chris – along with a bunch of other influential people – at GnomeDex in June. Can’t wait for that one.
