experiences were:
1) Spoke with my son last night (he is in Montreal, I am in Ottawa)
2) Spoke with my daughter last night (same deal as my son)
3) Spoke with my wife last night (yep, she is in Montreal too)
4) Fixed a performance bottleneck that resulted in improving throughput
performance in some software I am working on by better than an order of
magnitude (i.e. it is more than 10 times faster)
5) Tied my shoes
