Out of the Loop

Have you ever gotten busy in your work, personal and social lives all at the same time. I am going through this right now (and its all good), but it does take its toll on this blog. Some of what has been happening in the past two weeks and in the coming weeks as well is that I have been in and out of the office doing some business travel.

Last week I flew down to Raleigh, NC to do some training for a customer who needed some help with some software that the company I work for sold. It was a fast trip (by my standards) ... out on Tuesday and back on Thursday with two days of work (Wednesday and Thursday) in the middle. It was a good trip, but there was no time to see anything or do anything. Plus it was raining.

On the plus side of that, I got a portable DVD player under the guise of keeping the kids entertained when we go on longer road trips in the car, and I took it with me to Raleigh. I loved it. I watched movies on the way our and back in.

Next week I go to a trade show in San Antonio, Texas. I will try to post from the show site and let people know how things are down there.

Socially, I have gone to a wedding and will be going to the improv night at the Centennial Auditorium. I also was at the Top of the Hops event at Prairie Land Park on Thrusday and Saturday.

Personally, I went to Watrous for the long weekend in May. I also had some work to do on the house last week in my basement and have some landscaping to do in the yard at home.

I also did some things that were necessary and fun with the house like getting my home theatre set up, but I need to clean up all the cables that I ran and put all the ceiling tiles back in place in the basement as well.

Anyways, all this activity has cut me off from the world, or so it seems and I need to get back into the swing of things.

One political note: why didn't Pat O'brien take his stand when it would have made a difference?
