Buffalo and toys

Right now, I am in Buffalo, NY. Not my favorite place in the world, but I am up here for another wind tunnel test and it's going really slow. I get stuck in a small over-heated conference room (though for some silly reason, my feet never warm up) and wait out the test. We get 1-3 tests a day, so the waiting can take forever. When the data does come in it gets frantic and I really enjoy those bursts of energy. The time in between seems to be dragging though. On a good note, for the very first time ever, I had no crazy delays or canceled flights on my way up here through Midway - it's a miracle!

Now for the cool part of the post. Over Christmas Lenny and I got iphones and they are the coolest phones ever! I haven't been this excited about a gadget in a long time. I can even post on this from the phone. I have also discovered a way to have it list the direction and strength of the wind near our house at any given second. Isn't that cool! We also got a Wii a few weeks ago...yes I know we are spoiled! We are having a ton of fun boxing, bowling, and playing tennis. I am surprised how much we actually use it. Last weekend we bought Super Mario Galaxy and it's so much fun, but a little addicting. I didn't realize how much I missed that game from when I was a kid - though it's a lot fancier now. Poor Grommit thinks we are nuts when we have the controllers in our hands and we jump around the room. He barks at us for being crazy. It's quite funny.

I must get my head back into the Buffalo mindset now...someday I will post pictures of our vacations!
