I got caught up on things this afternoon around 4:15 and was reading magazines when I got your message so I thought I would reply.  Tomorrow morning I have to go by my old job to turn in my badge, credit card, etc. and sign some papers so I'll be in late.[1] I then have a meeting at 11am to with the "boss" to review my suggested proposal alternatives so I knew I would not be able to reply in the morning.
 
Lamb sandwiches are great, that's what I had for lunch today.
 
I never heard back about that job interview.  I will probably send off a email this week asking about it.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "more" friends with Wendy.  The last time I saw her was about the same time I last saw you.  Her parents live in Indialantic, which is the beach community next to Melbourne.  I was went to lunch one day at this diner on the beach in Indialantic and she was there with her parents and we spoke briefly.  That was the last I saw of her.  I have no idea what she is doing but I do know that she did have at least two kids which would be pretty much grown now and either in high school or early college.  I sent a longer message to Sean this morning that kinda sumed up where I am at and how I got here.  I asked about them.  Sean in his first reply said he only checked that email account a couple of times a week so I was quite surprised when about an hour later I got a reply in which he said he printed the message out and would give it to Wendy.  In his first message he said they dropped their AOL account at home so it looks like Wendy does not work and is not "into" computers.  I doubt that she ever used her degree in computer science.  I hope she writes back and I find out.
 
We just finished our first 11 week Yoga 1 class.  It was pretty basic in which we learned about 8-10 poses.  In the end about six of the poses are strung together in what is called the Sun Salute which doing three or for times in a row is a pretty good work out and is very relaxing.  This week we start the Yoga 1-2 class which is in between the 1 and 2 class.  It also runs for 11 weeks.
 
No you did not tell me you signed up for the Cyber Law course.  You will have to let me know how it works out.
 
Making business cards is quite simple.  If you go to almost an office supply store or computer store you can find business card paper, $5-$10.  What it is, is 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper that is heaver stock and has "pre-cut" cards on it.  The pre-cut is not all the way though, you kind of punch them out after printing.  The "Avery" brand is pretty standard everywhere.  As for software you can use Microsoft Word, select "Labels" from the tools menu, select the Avery Business Card paper type, then print, volia, you have business cards.  They will be just text cards but you can select various colors.  (actually you probably can put some simple graphics on it using MS Word).  There is also various freeware and shareware programs on the web that do a bit better job.  Most Avery label displays in stores also have a "Business Card Pack" which includes the Avery business card program.
 
Write a book together?  That sounds interesting.  I would be willing to give it a try.  How would we pick a subject, style, fiction, not-fiction, etc?
 
Well, time to go.

[1] I was turning in my badge from BVS. Even though I had been working at PEC for several weeks, I was still “officially” employed by BVS due to the layoff package I got.
