Road notes

I'm back in lovely Cleveland, though this time, snow blowing and ice on the ground. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the trip over to Syracuse, then the drive down to Endicott, NY. Mostly business types with me underway today. One right behind me on the plane had a cold and was sneezing without stop; I was in 7A, and the guy in 7C on the other side of the plane was on something and talked without stop throughout the flight. I pity the fool in 7B that had to listen to him. My connection is delayed for a while; it means I can watch the kickoff of the Superbowl.

Main Sunday editorial in the Austin newspaper [reg. required.. use bugmenot if you bother with it]was about the fact that Travis county was the only county that voted against the Texas marriage amendment. As a result, the city is right in bringing to a vote, a reversal of the 1994 city charter amendment that prevented the city from extending domestic partner benefits to its employees. Bravo. I'm glad the paper is supporting that position, and I hope that those that turned out for the statewide election will turn out for the city vote. My fear is that without the visibility, it might not happen.

I'm a bit nervous about this week of work. Charles has one more interview on Monday, and that evening we should know what direction we're heading as far as his job. If I had my way, I would have been in Austin this week, rather than last.
