Where Did The Time Go?

April 23, 2010

Pam and I have been planning for the trip to New Orleans and the PES T&D Expo for months. We have studied the city, the tours, everything. I have been looking forward to seeing friends and daydreaming about the new technologies I could play with. Now it is over. I feel like I lost a friend. I don't want to go home - well maybe. NOLA has been a fantastic host city. I don't think I met anyone in the service industry that wasn't trying to be helpful.

I always feel it was a great trip if I wish there was more. I really wish there was more. I guess it is time to start thinking and planning about Orlando. Heck, it is only two short years and we can do it again!!
