I'm traveling back from Las Vegas, and I'm now in Memphis, TN after a rather short night sleep.
My flight left Las Vegas around 11.00 pm, and with the 2 hour time difference I arrived at 5.00 pm local time... too short! Luckily this airport has a Starbucks and WiFi.
My connecting flight leaves at 9.00 am, in two hours.
A few months ago we bought a sound system for in the living room. Nothings fancy, but it's a nice system with surround speakers and a stand-alone amplifier. I've connected it to the TV and DVD player, and now we can listen to FM radio in the living room also.
Most of the time I listen to music through the computer thought, and tonight I finally connected my laptop to the sound system. It's nice to be able to listen to internet radio.
The cables I have at home aren't long enough, so I connected 2 cables using a switch. When I moved to the U.S. 2,5 years ago I brought a lot of cables and this switch, and now I finally found a good use for them, if only temporary.
Last weekend we were at the seaside we saw the highest dune in North America, Jockey's Ridge.
It was so beautiful! There's a path on a wooden bridge that leads from the visitor's center to the start of the dune. As soon as you leave that path you're almost in a different world.
It was very windy but we had an excellent time in the park.
You can see the sand being blown by the wind, and the pattern that the wind generates.
This weekend was graduation weekend for Duke university, and when I came home Friday evening the parking lots near our apartment were full with cars of parents and families visiting students.
Over the weekend a lot of undergraduate students started moving out of their apartments so there were a lot of rent-a-trucks, helping parents and goodbye parties.
I played with Antlr, a parser generating tool this weekend. It may sound nerdy, but writing parsers is a lot of fun.
We had a great weekend. We made a road trip to the Outer Banks.
The Outer Banks is a string of beaches and barrier islands on the east coast of North Carolina, and it's about 4,5 hours driving from Durham. We took more time than that, with various breaks and enjoying the journey.
Around 5.00 pm we arrived on Kitty Hawk, one of the barrier islands. It's a really narrow patch of land, with at one side a sound and at the other side the Atlantic Ocean. A long bridge connects the islands to the main land.
I left the office around 4.00 pm to catch a 6.30 pm flight. I was glad I took plenty of time, because the afternoon traffic was pretty dense.
When I arrived at the airport and heard some people talking in the elevator I noticed the southern accent more than I usually do, after hearing the New Jersey accent for a few days.
The Raleigh/Durham airport had a nice surprise... Starbucks coming soon! There is no decent coffee place at the airport so this is very welcome.
It was nice to come home; Sasha and I had a late dinner together.

I now have a plant in my cubicle at work.
