Work: Traveling all over

For the week of July 23 I needed to travel out for a site visit in San Jose, California. I've been to CA before, but not in the San Fran area, just down in SoCal. Gota tell ya, I see why people would want to flock to the SFO area. Very nice weather, tons of Tech companies in the area and seemingly nice people. Traffic would be the only down-side. Of all the places I would think to visit, we didn't. Cisco is HQ'd in San Jose and we totally skipped it. Wasn't on purpose, just wasn't in the cards. With some spare time we had, we went to one of the early Fry's electronic stores and to the Apple Employee Store where I picked up some t-shirts for the family. I hear that's the only place you can buy Apple apparel.

I've been traveling for the past 3 weeks and it doesn't look like its stopping any time soon. Before David, I really liked to travel. I didn't like being away from Jessica, but we both understood it was part of the job. Now I have even more reason to get back home. It seems I see all sorts of kidos in the various airports I go through and it makes me want to be back home.

So for the record, long weekend in DC for a customer upgrade, past week in San Jose and next week down to Fort Lauderdale for a 5 hour meeting. Upcoming I see a week in Portland and Buffalo NY in the next couple of months plus a drive up to Chicago for a week.

Lots of travel. Might get status this year yet on Delta and Marriott.

David Robert turned 1 year old on July 8th, 2012. The day before a whole lot of friends and family braved the heat and humidity to celebrate. The party was at "Maw Maw and Paw Paw's" house and everything was perfect. Everyone who came to "Camp David" was treated to BBQ, homemade chips and camping-themed snacks. The pool held more people that day than it might have ever had.

Thank you to all who helped make the day very special for us and David.

David is always watching you....
