I was thinking about all the things on my calender for the first half of 2008 … a friend’s wedding. A college reunion. The usual round of holidays. If I do it all, that’s three trips to NY in 6 months, on top of all the normal stuff in my life.
I’m also thinking hard about doing the Avon Walk this year, either in SF in July or in NY in October. Not sure how I’ll be able to fit it all into my schedule. But then, can I afford not to?
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. In the middle of another jam-packed trip home, I came down with a nasty cold – the worst I’ve had in years – and now that I’m home all I want to do is rest.
Back to sucking down tea and regular doses of decongestants….
So today I accidentally did something very stupid. I locked my keys inside my car. Luckily for me, I have AAA. I called them and inside of an hour, the nice service guy got my door opened in about 30 seconds.
This is the second time this year I’ve needed to call AAA and my experience last time was just as good. And for this, I pay about $50 a year. What a bargain!
OnStar costs three times as much. Why would I want to pay that much more when the service I get from AAA is so great already?
It’s been a very food-centric weekend, and I leave for NYC Tuesday morning. So instead of some technology ruminations, here’s a shot of a seagull I took behind the Ferry Building yesterday.
BlogWorld Expo wound down about half an hour ago, capped off by an entertaining closing keynote by Mark Cuban. So far I’ve just been posting raw data dumps from some of the sessions; I’d like to do an overview post but first I need to let everything settle into place. Expect something over the weekend.
Right now, I need to unwind. Preferably with a nice steak.
So tomorrow I’m catching a flight on the all-new Virgin America airlines to Las Vegas to attend BlogWorld Expo. The conference looks to be quite interesting, and believe it or not, I have never been to Vegas before.
My employer is paying my way, so I’ll be taking plenty of notes while I’m there, and hope to blog at least some of the sessions.
I’m psyched!
