Weekend Respite

Hi All,
Saturday, 10 July 2010
My last blog had the temps at 111F last Thursday that changed to 118F. It's officially HOT.

I had 3 friends over for dinner on Thursday eve. Grilled split chicken halves that were marinated for a day in Mojito marinade - MMmmm good - lime and orange juice, garlic, onion, olive oil, cummin, salt and pepper (it's in the Epicurious.com web site) It's a winner. Cooked them slowly over indirect heat for a few hours and the meat was falling off the bone succulent. That with home made potato salad and green beans. All was well received.
Went to the pool both yesterday and today for a few hour - got a slight burn - nothing really but my face is all red and hot feeling.
The big news this week was the announcement that my boss, the CFO, is quiting and will be gone in 90 days. Guess I'll have to train a new boss soon. Says he's leaving the country - but rumors abound that he will go work for the "parent company" that oversee's the 8 government hospitals here - it remains to be seen.
Alex will be starting his class on Monday - however we have not heard from him since his arrival in Quantico. You know those Marines - they will fill your time. Christine is going to call him today and hopefully get an update.
Other than that, It's back to work tomorrow and keeping cool.
Love to all,
Scott
