I finished up my first day in Reston on my business trip. Had two visits today. The first went very well, while the other was a trial in patience. Seems the second customer didn’t have the password to his Cisco switch, meaning we couldn’t configure some key features of our product. Worse yet, the company managing his network didn’t have the password, either. I spent two hours guessing passwords before deciding we’d have to settle for resetting it. The next few visits will likely make me work much harder. But I think I’m ready for them now.

Welcome Caleb
My good friends Gerry and Mandy, and their daughter Emma welcomed their newest family member, Caleb James Reid, on Saturday afternoon. Caleb entered the world a whopping 8 pounds, six ounces. A big boy!
Congratulations to the four of them. I can’t wait to meet the big guy!
Contract!
We have a contract on our house! The papers were signed today. I think the buyer will be very happy with our home. Once we move out of it, that is. The buyer wants to swing by again this weekend to do some planning regarding how she’s going to furnish it. Then she’ll become our landlord for a few months or until we find our new home. I think we all come out winners.
I guess its not bad to have a contract on the house less than two weeks from putting it on the market. We were certainly surprised at how quickly things progressed. I’ll take pleasantly surprised over the alternative, any day!
