PLACES
A list of Places I've been this year;
Amastedam, Netherlands - vacation baby, Mattypants made it over from the burgh, so there was much fun to be had.
Cologne, Germany - part of the same trip - check out Carnival for a demented Euro holiday. Think Halloween, Oktoberfest, and Mardi Gras wrapped into several beer soaked days.
Perry, Florida - Visit my longtime friend Bill. He's out of the Navy, Married, Learning to fly a plane, bought a house, oh yeah he's also a hell of an Engineer as well.
Ruidoso, New Mexico - Proof that there are large areas of New Mexico covered with trees! A Resort town in the southeasterly direction of the state. Had to go there for "Strategic Planning" conference, with numerous other educators. Decided that Educators at meetings are way to impressed with their vocabularies to tolerate for more than a few minutes at a stretch.
San Antonio, Texas - National Educational Computing Conference, Hot as Balls! Who decided to have this thing in southern Texas in JUNE! Saw the Alamo - big whoop.
Santa Fe, New Mexico - Software Training, that coincided with perhaps the bigest Rodeo in the state, and Believe me New Mexico has a lot of Rodeos. Managed to avoid said Rodeo.
Washington, D.C. - Department of Education National PT3 Grantee conference. More evidence that Teachers and conferences are two great tastes that just plain annoy the hell out of me together. Good restaurant at the hotel though, and Got to hang with an old college chum D.P.C., who consults for the dept. of Labor or some crazy thing. Check out The Chop House restaurant near the MCI Center.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - My spiritual Homeland. A major restoration of Chi, or Karma, or what have you. Never get tired of going home again, regardless of the old cliche that says you can't.
Las Vegas, Nevada - If there is a place you go when you die, I can only hope it comes close to Vegas. My folks are semi-retired out there, and It makes for a great excuse to live the high life for a few days.
Pending.... Daytona Beach, Florida - Merrilville, Indiana - and a repeat performance in Pittsburgh, all by end of year.
I really need to start enrolling in the various frequent flyer programs.
go and tell me all about it
