Start of a Long Walk

Tiffany started the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk today. She called and said the first 20 miles were ok, but slightly brutal. Her feet hurt very badly and she has developed a number of blisters. She says the experience itself is amazing, the number of people who come up to them as they walk and thank them for what they are doing is very heart warming. Though she is afraid she has not trained enough to make the full 60 miles, she is determined to cross the finish line, and I have no doubt that she will succeed. When she crosses, Kylie and I will be there to congratulate her.

Another DR test done

I just got back from Philadelphia from another DR test for work. Spent three days out there this time and due to some changes made in our process I ended up having a bit of free time so Torrey, Chuck, and myself all walked down to the historic district and toured Independance Hall and saw the Liberty Bell as they had never been there before. We also stopped off and had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, someplace I had never been. Having a little “free” time to walk around Philly was nice, but afterwards it was back to work and dealing with all of the problems that arose. In the end it was a long three days and we got a lot accomplished and learned that our new NIM server set up works (when we don”t have network issues at the hosted site anyway) and that I configured our hardware encryption devices correctly.  Not that I doubted that, after all I was out there in June testing just that. Now I just have to wait a few weeks before I go back for the next test.
