Portland

Things every business trip features:

* Impossible hours
* Missing my family
* Conference decor in every possible non-color


Things that separate one business trip from another:

* Personal driver pick-up at the airport, particularly at 9:50pm local time (1am body clock) when I am generally not inclined to lug my own suitcase around.

* Mint Milano cookies and chilled water waiting in my room, along with a note thanking me for being a Platinum Member (I welcome Mint Milanos anytime).

* Dinner includes a wine tasting featuring some surprisingly good local Oregon vintages and some fantastic food.

I will be glad to get home on Saturday!

not my fault, everytime she goes away something electrical happens... just cuz the house knows I am not allowed to touch the wiring (unless it seems to be on fire...)

ahhh domestic bliss!!!
