This evening I went to Benihana with my employer and one other employee. Our waitress was extremely cute. After dinner I gave her my business card and told her I was going to be in town for 3 more weeks, and if she would like to go out for coffee some time to please give me a call. We spoke a bit before our party left the restaurant and from the few things she said, I really do hope she calls me.

When she looked at the address on the card she noticed that it was an out of state address. She inquired about what I was doing in Utah, what I was using to write the website that I’m working on and then named a few languages and programs, to which I responded nope to all and then replied that I was using ASP.NET. She then made a comment about the real estate collapse and a few other things having to do with economics. If she does call me and we do schedule a date this could be a great date with lots of interesting conversation as she used a bunch of words that rang bells for me.

I flew out to Utah to assist in the set-up of a company’s Web-site, Johnson Financial and Accounting Services, as well as integrating it with Quickbooks 2010. The learning curve is steep but I am enjoying myself and it looks like we are not going to be going forward with accepting Intuit’s services in assisting with this, we’ve decided to move through another avenue.

I’ve also brought my bike with me and have ridden a few times. The temperature has varied anywhere from the mid-50s, like today, to the mid-20s, with snow, as was a few days ago. I was also at a local coffee shop, death to Big-name coffee chains that serve mediocre coffee, and two of the patrons were discussing the deteriorating skiing conditions and that the people running one of the resorts is going to stop doing… something… as the snow is getting more and more thin. I’m not sure what that something was, but they did add the “deteriorating” comment so I knew what they were talking about.

Go to the east coast, I suppose, if you want to go skiing? Maybe it’s melting there, too. After all, that is what snow does once it starts getting warmer.
