Just to catch everyone up, here are a few things that have happened in the past few weeks:

We found an amazing hamburger place in Greenwich - Burgers, Shakes and Fries. Its a definite hole-in-the-wall, and tiny, but the burgers (on Texas toast) were delicious. We'll be back!

Last Saturday, for the first time in a while, I didn't have to work. Still being Texans, we wanted to find something to do that did not involve being cold - which is hard to do in Connecticut in the winter! We finally decided on the Norwalk Aquarium. No, it probably wasn't the best aquarium in the world, but it wasn't bad for South Norwalk. We saw an Imax show, took a 3-D "ride" (skip it), and saw sharks, harbor seals, otters, African penguins, a huge sea turtle and all sorts of indigenous marine life - the Norwalk Aquarium focuses on the sea life in the Long Island Sound. I'm not so sure that we'll be headed back any time soon, but it was a good way to spend a cold winter day. We stopped by the Dutch store in SoNo and picked up some chocolate sprinkles, cheese and stroopwafels - yum!

Monday was another snow day - we got about a foot of snow. I'm really hoping its our last of the season - I'm ready for spring!!

This Friday, we headed back down to SoNo to meet up with some other MDPs who work in another group up here in Wilton. We started off with drinks at the Gingerman, dinner at Burger Bar, and finished up with an interesting 80's and 90's cover band at O'Neill's. It was so nice to get the chance to meet some more of the MDPs - I hope we get the chance to do this more often!

The other excitement of the weekend was my new vaccuum cleaner!! I know, this is a definite sign that I'm really getting old. We got a new Dyson DC 25. My old vaccuum had gotten to the point where I think it spewed out more dust than it picked up sometimes, so this is a definite upgrade!

On Tuesday, I'm headed in to NYC to give a presentation about the SEC and its review process to a group of college students. Wish me luck!!
