Crossing the Country for Fun

So as trips go, this was a big one. I was suposed to travel to Califonia for a business trip. I made it to California, but while I was somewhere over Colorado at 36,000 feet my meetings were cancelled. So I arrive in San Francisco to find a note that says that I am free of Client meetings.

So I spend a night in a great hotel (www.cypresshotel.com) and had an average dinner at the Elephant Bar (www.elephantbar.com). I had breakfast in the hotel and now it is off to catch a flight home.

Trip recap - Left at 6:30AM yesterday, Traveled 3,472 miles on airplanes, spent one night in a hotel that I prepaid for two rooms for three nights (a lot of $$$) and will be home by 11:00PM tonight.

So the trip continues.........

Community

I love a sense of community. I love tailgates, BBQs, get togethers, block parties, anytime that friends get together. Recently, I have added another category to my sense of community. I now enjoy reading blogs. There I said it. I am no longer a mysterious voyeur in blog land. I posted a comment for the first time this week.

While hosting a neighborhood BBQ, I went inside and posted my first comment. The comment was to a friends blog. It was a funny comment, that if you did not know me, would sound both out of place and incredibly vain. I would point you all (you all - like I have anyone but me reading this) to the post, but I don't know how to do that yet.

I must also confess that I am not sure how to handle the fact that I enjoy discussing US Weekly with my wife and the other Moms in the neighborhood. I think that it is alright that I was able to debate whether or not Britney is a fit parent right?

Well, that is enough writing for me today. I am getting ready for a business trip to California. I am taveling with our CEO, so i am sure that i will have some great recommendations for places to eat in Silcon Valley.

Stay tuned, the trip continues.
