Pam and I are back home after a great time with all our old and new friends. It is so nice to be back in the high desert once again. We really enjoyed the totally different foliage of Florida when compared to New Mexico. We have most breakfasts out by the hotel's beautiful pool along with several exotic bird species and a squirrel. The last morning we spent at the pool made me realize how fortunate I am. I grew up in south Florida with these birds and plants. Now I live in New Mexico, which is another exotic location everyone enjoys visiting.

Well, the 2012 IEEE PES T&D Expo is history, but we have packed a huge amount of memories along with our suitcases. It is funny, we have been planning for the Orlando Expo since we closed the New Orleans Expo. Now it is over and the week went by in the blink of an eye, but thank God we have 2014 to look forward to. Chicago is a favorite destination of ours. The food, the Broadway shows, the museums, the shopping, and did I mention the FOOD.

Tommy and the PES executive committee will be at work next week making sure 2014 comes off even better than 2012 did. I don't know how they will do that, but I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. Don't miss it. See you in Chicago!!
