Had a good time reminiscing the time spent together 2018-2023. Stories of the St. Kitts trip, Costa Rica trip, Puerto Rico trip, Dead Sea trip and the Myrtle Beach trip was enough to keep us busy thru the evening. There is a great story of how Chris showed up in this picture!!

I had a morning flight. Left home a bit early to avoid downtown traffic. I was a bit sleepy and lethargic as I hit the road.
Once I got on the highway, I commenced to do what I normally do to utilize my commuting hours: call up people to wish them happy birthday. Mornings are usually calls to Australia/India/Singapore – that side of the world. Lunches are for Europe and evening drive back home is for America.
I prepared myself for a few calls. As I mentioned, I was a bit sleepy and had not had my morning coffee yet. Part of me was wondering how many birthdays I had (I think my peak days are about 20) and could it be that I can push out the birthday calls till I reached the airport to just quietly drive there?
Opened my calendar. Braced myself.
Lo and behold! No phone calls needed!!
I forgot today is a Leap Day!!
I do have two friends who were born on this day – one from Dallas celebrates on the previous day (and I had a nice long chat with him yesterday) and another in my hometown in India who celebrates the following day.
Somehow, felt I was off to a good start to the day!!
Last February, I went for a run in Dallas area in front of the building that I used to work in back in the 90s! This year, I went for a run in front of the building that I used to work in just before moving to that building. This is in Las Colinas. Same company – i2 !
Boy, has this area changed or what?
