Our desks are almost ready to go in the new office space. These setups are just like directors used to have at my last job, but I don’t have to put up with any big company hassles. Sitting behind them brought a huge smile to my face all day long.

The past two weeks were really busy–the painting was finished, the projector arrived, carpet and baseboards were installed, a hole was punched through the outside wall for the air conditioner, the electrician came to wire the AC with the special plug it needed, window blinds were ordered, phone lines were pulled and Comcast installed our business class internet access. I moved the rest of my boxes out of the old office and unpacked them yesterday.

We made a few trips to IKEA and Target and today we ordered our new red leather coaches for the coders lounge. There still seems to be a lot of items on the to-do list, but it’s finally starting to come together. More pictures soon…DK

Hooray–fall colors have arrived in our yard! I’ve been so busy the past few weeks with the new office, I literally needed to stop and smell the roses today. I read that this is the last weekend of good colors on the North Shore and I hope we can get out for a roadtrip somewhere in the region before they are all gone.

Weather for the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday looks OK–overnight low around 45/high near 75–and the colors along the Mississippi River should be fun to see. Hopefully I won’t be too focused on leg cramps and blisters to notice…DK
