Last night Michael Earls was kind enough to have me over to his house for dinner.  His wife Laurie cooked up some incredible Indian food and the four of us (including Laurie's sister) chilled out drinking some kind of mango concoction Michael whipped up.  Great food and great company.

Mr. Energy was a bit doped up on allergy medicine (welcome back to GA) so we kept the geek level down to a dull roar.  Only a bit of talk about XP Media Center, Smart Phones, and Microsoft's developer evangelists.  We're both really excited about how technology is enriching the lives of everyone around us.  Mobility, entertainment, communications - more than you can shake a stick at.  I'm really glad I get to be a witness to these incredible technologies being created and delivered.  I'm hopeful that my involvement in the User Groups brings me closer to all of this great stuff.

Michael and Laurie, thanks for the great dinner.  Remind me to get the recipie for that Indian dish.  Thanks again!
