I've got the coolest boss in the world, because he let me book my trip to Seattle on Amtrak's Empire Builder. I leave Cleveland at 2:37am tomorrow morning, and then transfer to the Empire Builder tomorrow afternoon. I'll arrive in Seattle on Sunday at 10:20am. I return right after the Ohio State Buckeye's game against that "team up North", as Woody used to call them. Yes, I found a bar in Seattle where the OSU Alumni hang out for the games, so I won't be alone with my Scarlet and Grey, and my Buckeye Beads.
The week next week is getting quite full, with sessions during the day, and meetings and receptions in the evening. I hope I get to see a lot of people who've visited this blog. I also found out that my first article will be published on SQLServerCentral.com next week. This is perfect, as I became aware of PASS because of that site.
Well, one of the nice things about taking the train is that I'll be out of touch for a few days - it's a little time to reflect and renew, and to prepare for my session on SMO. I plan on blogging each day on the new things I'm learning at the conference, so have a great weekend and I'll be back next week.
