There's Snow On Dem Mountains

Well, I made it. As my birthday rolled around I was somewhere over the midwest. Not exactly the ideal version of how to spend my 31st, but what the heck. The flight was delayed 45 minutes (on the runway) so I managed to squeeze in a few beers ;)

I’m waiting for Duane to come down and snatch me up but the agenda is full and expectations are high. It’s really nice when you hear excitement in others’ voices. What else would you want to go to work in the morning for?

As I headed to the hotel last night, I saw the mountains covered in snow. My previous 2 or 3 trips here last year were during the summer so there was none of the white stuff present. I won’t be skiing on this trip (considering it’s been 15 years since I was on skis last, that could be dangerous).

I’ll try to post continuous updates on our progress. Stay tuned.

update: Victor sent a nice note that sums it up for me today:

My heart goes out to you because you are not close to your loved ones. However, each moment you invest in your future guarantees success and happiness in your life and many more enjoying birthdays to come.
