Meetings

This week at work has consisted of all day, 10 hour customer meetings to determine their final requirements for the project we are working on. Yes, this is truly as tedious as it sounds! This weekend I will be on kid duty as Mindy will be at a local Belly Dance Festival performing Henna art tattoos on any willing participants. Originally, she was going to attend the festival as an observer but found out yesterday there was an opening. I believe today she will be running around like mad trying to get ready.

Nothing much else happening I guess. I am reading the various poker magazines I picked up in Vegas, along with finishing James Randi's "Flim Flam", his book on various paranormal phenomina like ESP, remote viewing, dowsing, the Cottingley Fairies, psychic surgery, UFOs and other such nonsense. Essentially, the book clearly shows how there is really no evidence for these types of things and shows how some scientists have been duped by participants in these "arts". Most of it kind of obvious I think but the way that certain people have been given a level of credibility due to shoddy methods and flat out poor scientific methods is amazing. Also, I am enjoying the new season of "House" that has just started, one of the few shows we actually watch.
