It's been raining really hard since Friday evening, and with the strong wind it has caused a lot of trouble. When I drove to the library yesterday afternoon Elizabeth Road was partially flooded and I had to drive through tire-deep water. The flag pole at the library was broken.

In the evening we went for dinner in New Brunswick. We're still getting to know the places around here and had set our eyes on a new pub.

When we entered New Brunswick police was blocking entrance to the downtown such as George Street and we realized the whole center was without power, including the bar we had in mind. We drive further north and in Highland we saw a place that looked very busy. A great find, turned out to be a wonderful Greek restaurant. Hadn't had Greek food in a long, long time and it was very good.

The temporary apartment we're staying at in Somerset is furnished, and many kitchen utilities are included. This is convenient. The coffee machine though, makes truly terrible coffee and we often resort to getting coffee from Starbucks or from the office of our apartment complex.

This morning we're having coffee from the new machine we ordered on-line: such a difference. It's small, for 4 cups, and makes great coffee.

If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the coffee pot and the filter holder.

Our office is closed for today due to snow, so I'm working from home again today. Sasha's flight is today, let's hope it will go.

I had plans for dinner yesterday but had to cancel it due to the weather.

Here are some pictures I took two weeks ago; it's much the same outside now.

Mike, an old coworker, came for dinner yesterday which was fun. This morning Sasha left to North Carolina.

There'll be snow tomorrow and possibly on Friday.

I woke up early today and spent the morning programming. I'm now managing a second team, and that product using Adobe Flex technology. I made some small UI changes to get a feel for the technology and how to do builds.

Then I went for a long run until 2.30 pm, followed by an afternoon of shopping. At the Franklin Township Library I picked up some books. I read David Brinn's Uplift Novels in the last few weeks (a great find) and I was without a book for a while.
