Long time, no see
Wow. I just realized that I haven’t posted here in quite some time. How’s that for a New Year’s resolution…?
Oh well, I have been busy, productive and been having a killer time, I can’t complain.
During the last week of January I traveled across the US with one of Microsoft’s Corporate Vice Presidents to promote BizSpark. It was an interesting experience and I was surprised at the pace at which we were in and out of places. Though I guess that’s what big corp execs are for, right? The surgical strike to make a lasting impact and then onto the next place.
We hit New York, Boston, (I skipped Chicago), and Austin within a 5 day period, first meeting at 7:30am, ending with a dinner or reception in the evening - that’s one lonnnng day. Thank god for coffee. Mmm
To cap that week off, I met up with a bunch of old college buddies to celebrate our bright college years - part MAN. 9 of us converged upon Sin City, shacking up at the Stratosphere (thanks to Goldman Sachs who owns it, and one of their employees who got us dirt cheap rooms), and hitting the town hard. Highlights were golf at Wildhorse, bottles at Body English and Tryst, and losing a couple hundred dollars while watching the Superbowl at the Harrah’s outdoor bar.
Now it’s back to the grind for 14 days, resting, recuperating and otherwise getting mentally prepared for the trip we are calling Operation Come Home Alive - Rio de Janeiro for Carnivale. T-minus 8 days.
