new bed
I took the week off from work and generally I'm relaxing. I've had a deliverable or two for the home front. One was completed this morning.
Say goodbye to the bohemian-bed-on-the-floor and welcome to 12 inches of natural latex mattress (on a box and frame) off the floor. Barb really wanted the bed higher. For both of us, that first push in the morning to rise from the bed was more than needed. It was a challenge in today's bedding market to not need a step ladder to get onto a mattress to sleep. Many with pillow tops are 14 inches thick. Foundations can run 8 inches and frames another 8 inches. That can put the sitting height at 30-32 inches off the floor. That's about the height of a desk top or table.
The final decision was for a Stearns and Foster, Natural resort - Garden Grove Plush mattress, on a low profile foundation, and again on a low profile frame. So the sitting height of the mattress is about 22 inches from the floor. (we were at about 15 inches with the old mattress-box on the floor).
Latex has been around for many years and it seems to be making a comeback. Tonight we'll find out if the 15 minute try (lay) out was accurate. I hope I like it.......more tomorrow.

more catching up...Thursday November 13th, 2008
Barb calls me from the hospital...Katie's been in an accident. A friend of her was driving. Greg Kahn lost control of his mother's car and landed in a tree. Thank God, no serious injuries...just bumps and bruises...but the car is probably a total loss. Katie also lost her phone during the accident. It was finally recovered from the car late Friday.

A little catching up is required.
So the week of November 3rd I was in Germany for the Purchasing Executive Committee which was held at Wellnesshotel BollAnt's im Park in Bad Sobernheim, Germany. seems to be a very popular place for weekends.
Crabby outside my room
Hiro (from Japan) on a walk through the open air museum before dinner. This was just after the Museum Director ask us to put out all but 4 torches. That would be about 12 torches to put out. I guess he was concerned we could burn down his old buildings. I really don't blame him :-)
Theis Bosse after our walk and waiting for wine and dinner......and crabby of course.
