8 more days

Today is my next to last day at work. My office is starting to resemble a florist's shop. I spent yesterday preparing customized data CDs for the various people who will be taking over my responsibilities. I'm sure they were thrilled. After work, a group of colleagues treated me to a stuff-yourself-'til-you're-sick dinner at Blue Smoke. They were people I don't see all that often anymore, so it was a really sweet gesture. I had to avoid the meat with bones in it because it's one of my eating peccadilloes, but the mac & cheese was divine. Someone gave me the soundtrack to Ray, so I think I'm going to play "Hit the Road, Jack" as I drive off into the sunrise.
