1982 Jef's Activities 1983 1984
Dec		1983
I flew to Baltimore from NM, stayed with Craig and Mari while finishing contract work with C.E.S. At end of contract, drove up to Connecticut for 2 interviews. One was at Canaan Computer. No job, but I did come back to Canaan a couple years later, for about a week, in a joint project with General Dyanmics. Met newborn Greg (now over 6'2"). Went out to dinner, and I was the one to take the crying baby out to the car, while Craig and Mari finished. Jef and Mari in Olney, MD	For the interviews in Connecticut, I remember I rented a T-bird. Almost had an incident when I stopped at a rest stop to look at the map, and looked up to see I was moving. Stopped just in time... you have to put auto trannies in PARK... keeping it in drive doesn't prevent car from going backwards. Car had those new-fangled electronic displays.	Met Ben Lapointe, a CES employee, who drove up and met me half way, while I was up in that area. We may have had some pizza or Chinese.

Visited Craig and Mari in Olney MD, while contracting job for CES (adding support for punched cards).	Julie threw me a cool dinasaur party. Note my surprise as the worm shoots out of the gag can of nuts, and the drunken clowns (complete with little beer cans) on the cake.
Aug		1983
Moved out of apartment in Maryland on 15th, loaded up pickup, and drove to Socorro, where I roomed with Julie for a few months.

Jan		1983
Got my first set of contact lenses. Pretty cool!	Silver Spring got 2' of snow in a storm (maybe) this month. It was interesting hiking 3 miles(each way) to work for next couple of weeks, as snow changed. The most interesting was when top layer solidified to ice, and slipping meant sharp edges cutting into my shins.
