short takes
Some days the commute is a not-unpleasant drive. Other days it is a cross between Dodgeball and 20 Questions. Sheesh.
There was a board meeting last night. One of the new members seems to have my tendency to ask detailed questions about financial statements. Good; there needs to be a friendly nit-picker there after my term expires in a year. :-) (I can't tell yet if he has my uncanny knack of spotting math anomolies without trying.)
I am now officially the tech lead of my project at work.
I got email a couple days ago from someone who's looking for a congregation and a rabbi and found me via a mailing list. She sounded enthusiastic when I told her about mine, so she's joining me for services and Shabbat dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to meeting her and playing host.
I owe some people interview questions (and answers), but it's not going to happen until after Shabbat. Sorry for the delay. I'm not ignoring you -- just busy.

So will you be doing more programming, then? :)
Must have been the move into the bigger office--they probably figured that there was room for more responsibility in there now.
What happened to Eric?

Maybe; I suspect that more examples are in my future. :-)
What happened to Eric?
Other projects have been consuming most of his time and that's not likely to change. And we all know what happens to your ability to stay on top of secondary projects... it needed a tech lead for whom this is the majority assignment.
He'll still be available at times -- this just means he can spend that time doing actual work rather than administrative overhead.
