Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is big name for our airport so I'll just refer to it as SJC.
SJC is adding a long needed new terminal but it is not easy dealing with the construction, and it will only get worse. The hardest part for us, the taxicabs, will be the changes to the roads and to the areas where we park to pick up our customers.
The final steel beam was hoisted into place to complete the steel frame of its new North Concourse, terminal B, and I was invited to attend. I met San José mayor Chuck Reed and former United States Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta. It was cool to sign my name on the final steel beam along with the visiting dignitaries.
I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?

I was wondering what has happened to you. Thought you might be doing a "Melissa Plaut" and only posting once a month or so.
Good to hear from you again.
