I got nothin'

No excuses what so ever for not posting since September. Its only been 5 months...

I'm up in DC on a business trip, learning the latest and greatest about Flex 4 (beta, should be out soon). But the noteworthy part has been the trip so far.

I haven't ridden in a back seat for a road trip in years. YEARS. My brother and I used to fight over who rode shotgun to navigate for dad (who really didn't need any help, but wanted to include one of his boys I now know). I was in the backseat as a co-worker drove from my place in Garner, NC (where we all met up) up to McLean, VA (suburb of DC). It was about a 6 hour trip all together, including stopping for gas and dinner.

It was fun looking out the window and enjoying the ride for a change. And I know my wife will read this eventually and wonder why I never let her drive - I like driving, I just need reminders how fun being a passenger can be. But don't expect my love for being behind the wheel to yield anytime soon.

The trip back Thursday will have me in shotgun. The other co-worker on the trip is flying from DC to San Jose (6-7 hour flight!) to see his girlfriend. We probably won't leave the area until 6 or 7, unless class gets out super early, so most of the riding will be at night again. But hopefully I can follow Orion across the sky for some of the trip.









A trip out west is needed soon... whether its by plane or car, I need to see those mountains, the vast plains, and the wide open sky. It has been far too long.
