Today With Patty – Jan. 16, 2007

by Patty

What is with this weather?! It is dark and dreary today. The good news is that it did not rain on our event celebrating the opening of the new nine miles of Interstate 540 that connects the U.S. 64 bypass in Knightdale to Capital Boulevard in Raleigh. Nicole and Michelle had a fine time parking their car on the new stretch of I-540 for the ribbon cutting. All the dignitaries and guests, along with the media, retired to Greystone at Widewaters (by the way, our wonderful client) for a reception and luncheon to celebrate this historic event. We had great reactions from everybody there about how upscale and beautiful Greystone at Widewaters is. But who would expect anything less from Scott McCrary and the folks at Carolina Communities Development Group? Everything they do is a class act.

Technology is starting to overwhelm me. A new Bluetooth, a new Trio, and all this upgrading we are doing at the office is making my arse ache. All this technology is wonderful, and it makes you more productive, but you have to learn how to use it first.

And speaking of technology, I am never going to get a grip on my new car. Yesterday I learned how to flip the seat forward. I know that sounds elementary, but not in this vehicle. I think I am going to have to do like I did with my new Trio and have a five-minute lesson every day from someone. I still have not figured out how to open the trunk, and I am dreading the thought of going to get gas, because I know that I am going to need a Ph.D. to figure that one out. Maybe I can talk Kipp and Ryal into getting gas for the car for me. Probably Ryal, because he has been trying to worm his way back into my graces after eating all my food.
