In Phoenix on Business

As some may have heard, I'm in Phoenix right now at a tradeshow - actually the tradeshow is over and I'm plugging away on my laptop poolside. Despite lost baggage, missing marketing materials, the investigations of Homeland Security, the HEAT, an unfamiliar tradeshow environment and an apparent unspoken hostility to vegetarians among those preparing menus, I've survived the experience.

A note on the Homeland Security investigations - after our luggage failed to make the mad dash from one plane to another in Denver (a feat accomplished by the oversize materials), Homeland Security checked out the contents of our bags. I guess they decided that our 200 pens weren't a security risk as we got the pens and a nice informative note back inside our LOCKED bag. That's right kids - they picked the lock, then put it back on.

Next on this trip is a visit to the brother in California for my first vacation in a very long time. I have a camera, so I hope to have some snaps up on the site sometime soon. I'll be back in time for the Head-Race Wedding.
