Patrick & Patrick

I met my friend Patrick Poon from CMU in Dallas yesterday. It was a short visit, but I think we had a good time. We went to an IHOP and then took a tour of the places I grew up, totally Ken Lau style. We went past my high school, junior high, and elementary school, past my old house that I grew up in, and past my grandparent's house, and past the old church I went to when I was a kid. We also got out and went into one of the nicer malls. So all of this has me a little self-conscious that I must not be very good at coming up with fun things to do, so I told Patrick that next time he comes through I would have a much better list of activities lined up.

But it was good to see someone from Pittsburgh. I don't feel that I'm likely to see people down this way too often, but I certainly hope I do! It's fun seeing folks from Pittsburgh again. Anyone coming to Dallas/Fort Worth should definitely let me know ahead of time so I can give them an awesome tour too! (a little aside) Ken, I think you'd enjoy this!

Also, I met with a person from a firm in Dallas that I'm very interested in. Hopefully they'll be hiring sometime in the future because they sound exactly like what I am looking for!
