Perfect day in Catskill NY

On Saturday I drove up to Catskill, NY to meet my friend, Moira, who lives just as far in the other direction in upstate NY. We had tentatively planned to meet for years, now that we're both stateside, and finally the stars were aligned! Moira and I worked together at BCSI more than 20 years ago and each ran one of Canada's only two multi-tenant telecommunications systems at that time, which brought us together regularly on the job.

Once in Catskill, a first time visit for both of us, we ended up parking at the same time in back-to-back parking spots after our 1-1/2 hour drives! We strolled the main street of Catskill, visited a few shops, and talked and laughed. We had lunch on a deck overlooking the Hudson River.

It was so good to hear how great Moira is doing - busy as usual, and interested in all things as usual - and to reminisce about the job that got us started in telecommunications. We're now planning our next rendezvous, hopefully in the fall.
