May has been a really busy month for me with a lot of travel for both work and personal. \u00a0I went to California twice, visited the BNY Mellon Innovation Center in Palo Alto<\/a>\u00a0which was super interesting and did general work stuff in the office. \u00a0Then a few days later my parents and I traveled back to the Bay Area for my niece’s college graduation from Saint Mary’s College in Moraga<\/a>. \u00a0In between we installed an all flash memory storage array in the data center in Everett MA (aka – work stuff).<\/p>\n

So lots of stuff to talk about. \u00a0I will do house stuff first and then family second.<\/p>\n

House stuff.<\/strong> \u00a0While a lot has been going on, not all of it shows up as something to photograph. \u00a0But this month, a lot of things are coming together and Paul and I are talking about wrapping things up, getting final inspection permits and the final bank payment done. \u00a0Still a bit out over the horizon on the timeline, but the final pieces are coming together – and it is coming together GREAT!<\/p>\n

My mad plan for the cantilevered island counter top, cooking & dining surface came out better than I had hoped – it looks fantastic. \u00a0It is a real show piece. \u00a0Other things that are done or have made progress.<\/p>\n
