It’s a funny old life when you come to think about it. You never know when something is going to spring up to surprise and delight you or to bite you on the a…sk no questions. As a “surprise and delight” example, I recently received a request to give the keynote presentation at the FPGA Forum in Trondheim, Norway, 9-10 February 2022.
With regard to the “ask no questions” front, I foolishly asked my wife (Gina the Gorgeous) if she would care to accompany me to the aforementioned forum. As a result, she is now preparing for the event as though we were mounting an arctic expedition. I didn’t realize she would require so much equipment in the form of coats, boots, scarves (“I can’t wear the same one every day because people would notice”), hats, and goodness knows what else. I have absolutely no idea where we are going to keep the sled dogs.
