Rochester

Had a quick trip to Rochester over the weekend. I really enjoy leaving very early in the morning as I am a morning person. The car was rolling from the driveway at 0400 Sunday and was checking in at the Marriott's before 10. Yes, we got a room as there's not much going on in Rochester this past weekend. Picked up Santucci from the Chapel and in an hour, we had finished loading up the station wagon and her wrangler. Had some downtime at the hotel before getting a call from Hans that he had the key to the house.
Had dinner with Kellie's two brainiac roommates, Roy (PhD Biomed Engr) and Ryan (PhD Oncology). They carried on the conversation to my level which was fine with me.
The drive back was very tiring. I HATE LEAVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! My body has been conditioned to taking SIESTA! Go to Europe. Everything closes in the afternoon for Siesta and the place does not get alive again until about 5 or 6 pm.

Thinking about seeing Santucci again weekend of the 20th. Of course, I would never forget it! It was some years ago when I had to drive to Shady Grove Hospital on Papi's Day!

While GF was doing a conference call from 9 - 11 am, I went next door and visited my favorite car dealership Holtz Audi Porsche. They have my S5 in the showroom ($57K) . I sat in it and it felt just right! I was told that 2009 is the last year with a V8. They plan on putting a souped up V6 next year. Hmm, some decision to make.....
