Merrimack, NH (USA)

I teleworked from very early in the morning - still on NZ time but gradually adjusting!  After work (1330), I left Hanover at and drove (via I-89, NH-3A and US-3 to Merrimack so I could attend a "Celebration of Life" for George M. at the John O'Leary Adult Community Center in Merrimack (arrived at 1505).  I got to see Allison and meet her husband, Johan, and spent the next two hours listening to stories about George and talking to some of his family and co-workers from Boston Center.  I also saw two guys I used to work with in DC (Joe and Joe).  Departing for home at around 1730, Google Maps took me on a scenic route through the woods on narrow two lane roads until I reached US-3 from the south (north of Goffstown).  From there, I used NH-3A and I-89.  I talked to Brenna on the way - it was great to catch up with her after my trip!  I made good time to my house (arrived at 1930).  Glad to have had a chance to attend the memorial service!
