Blogging from the Road

Well, I'm here again at a hotel. This is one of the 5 different hotels I will be at in the two week period where I've been on the road. Last week, I attempted a nice long post from my mobile phone in the airport. Well, if you've been looking, it's obvious it didn't make it on here.

Last week, I was back in an area where I spent many, many summers: Altus, Oklahoma. I was actaully visting a client we have just across the border in Texas, but I made a trip north to see the town again. I also made a stop at the famed Friendship Inn. There, I was able to have a chicken fried steak. I've tried other chicken fried steaks in other resturants, but none have compared to the ones in Altus. I was able to have another one, just like old times. That was the big highlight of my trip last week. I say that was my trip last week, because my schedule was something like fly to Oklahoma on Monday and drive to the town in Texas we were working at. Fly home on Friday and arrive in the morning. Go home and stay for about a day, and even got up to Huron to see Grandma and Grandpa and Grandpa Pete who as in town. Got home on Friday night around 10:15 and went to work to prepare everything for the next trip, which I left for today. I got back to the airport in Sioux Falls at 10:15 this morning, less than 24 hours since I'd been there the previous day. I left from there to head here to Atlanta, and tomorrow, continue back on to Bermuda. Two weeks in a row on the road, and it doesn't stop when this trip ends.

I will get a break for 3 weeks from traveling for work, but after that 3 weeks, I'm going to be back out here. This weekend though, when I get back home, it's time to head to a new motel. I'm going to Minnesota for my future sister-in-law's wedding. It happens on my brother's birthday, but that will be the fifth and final hotel I'll stay in for this event. It's crazy how busy and how much traveling I'm doing currently. Recently, we had a very expirienced member of out team leave for a new job, so it's putting more of a strain on the rest of us, but we are picking up the pieces, and my pieces happen to send me on the road. So, here I am again, tomorrow, I'll be headed to Bermuda. Any body that is ready for that snow we are supposed to get care to join me?
