Long time no post

The weary traveler realizes he's home.

Interestingly enough, today I was so busy and stressed out that the day actually went pretty quick and coming home actually felt good.

Let's see, where have I been since the last post? I think as of last post I had justreturned from 2 weeks in the Greater Washington DC area. I was back in the office for a week or so. I left for the Detroit area on January 31st. Spent Tuesday thru Sunday there. Went there on a work excursion. Interestingly enough, they scheduled the excursion for the same week as the Super Bowl. I couldn't get a hotel downtown naturally, but that worked out for the best anyway. I stayed with a friend outside of Detroit. She was much more pleasant company than the folks downtown would have been anyway. Wednesday and Thursday weren't bad leaving the office, but Friday night all the HUGE parties started early. I came out of the office to tour buses, vehicles of all types and sizes displaying "Official NFL Superbowl Vehicle" and scores of people. I was glad to be leaving town.

I pulled out of Detroit area on Sunday after lunch and drove to Dayton, Ohio. The hotel we were more or less forced to use by policy was a dump. I picked up my coworker at the airport and we decided we didn't want to hang at the hotel. Ed had talked to someone from the area on the plane and they recommended we go to Smokey Bones, a restaurant just south of the airport. They had tv's everywhere and were advertising that they were playing the Super Bowl on all of them. The food was pretty good, so we decided we would stop back to sample some of the barbque fare when we got a chance later in the week. We did and all I have to say is MMMMMMMMMMMMM.. nummy.

We got done early and Ed flew home Friday. I drove home Friday night. A long drive across central Ohio is not fun when you're half ready to fall asleep. Got home about 10pm ish. Spent this week as the only pc tech in-house scrambling just to keep my head above water. Next week we'll all be in-house so we should catch up a bit. End of February, it will be back off into the air to more locations. This time three week straight. That should just be soooo fun.

I really enjoy travelling for work. I hope I get a bit of free time in Salt Lake City and San Francisco to site see a little. It's always a welcome break from normal routine.

I guess I'll head out for the night. Catch ya next post.
