The dog behaved, the basement ceiling remained in one piece and I didn't get any makeup in my eye, mouth or other orifice. And I had only one sartorial mishap when, in trying to juggle hose (I'm old school on the hose issue, especially when the temperature goes below 50) and the phone, I naturally poked a hole. And the hole begat a long, winding run. But I guessed correctly that my skirts was just long enough to cover.
As for what I did that day? I went to a venture capital panel on mobile technology. Now, I do have a blackberry and I've had one for more than a year. I do like having it and I probably use it more than I should but it does come in handy. And I like technology, generally; I'm the IT specialist in the house and Michael says I run a 24 hour hotline for computer and other emergencies.
But the panel was replete with jargon and concepts that were completely foreign to me. What is an RPU? Do I care? Does anyone outside of this room care? Aren't there already enough apps for an IPhone? And why on earth would I want to use my phone as a credit card. Fortunately, I was able to keep quiet. I just kept trying to remember all the terms--without writing them down so as not to look too out of the loop--so that I could google everything once I got home (how reliable is wikipedia?)
This re-entry thing is tough slogging
