Can you keep a secret, especially if it means your job is on the line? Former Apple engineer didn’t.

Back from Staycation
November 2nd 2009
Back to work. Two weeks just flew by. I could have gone away somewhere but decided to stay in town and take it easy, instead. Some nice things did happen though. Staying in town is sometimes the best vacation and this was definitely one of those times.
I capped off my vacation, yesterday, by going to a dinner out in Long Island where my mother, brother Vernon, sisters Pauline and Teresa and their families and extended families were in attendance. It was nice to see them again. There was lots of picture taking and many catch up conversations. Definitely one of the highlights of my two weeks off, but there were other special highlights too. The nicest part of coming back to work for me is hearing how much I was missed. It certainly makes coming back a lot more bearable. I’ll be back in the swing of things by the end of the day, I’m sure. I brought 3 tv shows with me to watch today. I might get around to watching them. I’ll start, of course, with last night’s episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm which is always good for a few laughs.Family Get Together
November 1st 2009
I’m sitting on the Long Island RR train heading out to an event where I will see many of my family members. I’m looking foreward to seeing them. I don’t get to see them as often as I would like.
I feel a short nap coming on. It’s a good thing I have to switch at Huntington, the last stop on this train, so I won’t go further than I should. Only have to travel one stop on the connecting train.Coming Down the 59th Street Bridge

Today
October 29th 2009
I spent most of the day cleaning and throwing things away. I still have work to do.
Afterwards rode my Trek bike to grab something to eat. Now I’m off to the Post Office to check my PO Box contents. I haven’t been there in 2 weeks so there is bound to be a nice pile waiting for me. It’s getting pretty chilly out.From 5 to 7 to 20 mph

Week off #2, Day #1
October 26th 2009
The weather is cooperating with my staycation here in NYC. I rode my bike into Manhattan’s Upper West Side where I am now sitting in a place called Ozu waiting for my food to come out of the kitchen. I worked up an appetite. I’m hungry. The dish is called Soba Mariko. I’ve had it before and knew but it’s been a while since I’ve been here.
I’m hoping to ride at least 20 miles on the bike today, mostly around Manhattan, then back to Queens. Food is here. Time to eat.Welcome Relief in Herald’s Square

I didn’t even know things like this existed in Manhattan. I’ve wished for them for years. Inside there was a sign on the door which stated a time limit of 15 minutes. There is a one minute warning before the door automatically unlocks. Interesting. I only needed a minute.
