Today was my travel day to bumpin' Farmington CT. I went and picked up my Chrysler Sebring rental car (it was either that or a Kia Soul or an HHR...) and made the venture back to the Constitution State. I've done the drive to the greater Hartford area so many times now that the drive seems to go by extremely fast.

Late night out last night is the reason for the delay in this posting. After a long day "working", went out with a large group for $1 beers (and also watched some hockey) then out to Acme Pizza for some delicious beers and tequila.

The two weeks in Hartford was very boring for the most part and was highlighted on Friday of last week by sitting with my manager and discussing my end of the year development plan. The meeting was a solid two hours and I really took a lot of great advice from it. The one thing that stuck out for...

There's a funny episode of How I Met Your Mother where Marshall claims to have had the best burger in the whole world after his gang of friends has the new burger at their local bar, but he cannot remember where he had it. So they take off on a whirl-wind adventure around NYC to find said burger (the episode features Regis Philbin in a very random role). Anyway, this got me thinking about my search for the best burger. Since I've been in Hartford, I managed to c...
