Baltimore - Day 1
Usually, the first day back in the office, I touch base with everyone, make sure they are not experiencing any issues with their pc’s, and if so, do what is needed to correct those issues. I quickly found that this trip is different. Very different.
As soon as I walked in the door we had a meeting. One of our own is sick. Very sick. It seems his blood has stopped “functioning” and things do not look good. A few of us went over to Johns Hopkins to visit with him, if he felt like taking visitors. I did not get to see him. He took a downward turn and they called in his family. We all stayed (so someone would be there with him) until his family arrived. When his family arrived, we returned to the office. I had no way to prepare for this day. What a day, indeed.
Upon returning to the office, we held a pretty interesting meeting to implement some ideas a few of us have had recently. It went well. Very well.
Around 6:30 I came back to the hotel, thought of our friend at work, and went to Gunnings for a crab cake. Yes, I drowned my sorrows went to celebrate the life of a friend. The crab was excellent. Oh yeah.
