Transitions

Got home about 45 minutes ago from a retirement party at work. Peter Hart is retiring as Lab Director and CEO; it'll take three people (Lab Director, Executive VP, and President) to replace him. Four once he resigns as Chairman of the Board, which hopefully won't happen for a while. (The incoming President is Japanese, and will only be on-site part time; the Exec VP and Lab Director will do most of the hands-on work. But still...)

The party was fun -- a Japanese buffet lunch (I am feeling particularly well-fed), champagne for a toast, short speeches, and a filksong (not mine) that took advantage of the fact that "Peter Hart" scans to "Spider Man". No, you probably don't want to hear it.

Got home early, because when the incoming Lab Director waves at you in the parking lot and says "See you tomorrow" it's safe to take that as a strong hint.

I'm familiar with the idiom, but it's rarely used in my household. No cats.
