Before this evening, the closest I’ve ever been to Texas has been either northern Colorado or Florida, depending on how you want to measure geographical/cultural distance. Next thing you know, I’ll be visiting California — scary thought!
Travel was pretty boring, all told. I got caught up on E-Mail (offline) during one of the flights, and played Bejeweled on the other, with a stop at Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta (albeit a rushed one, since I’d arrived in Concourse C, had a flight leaving out of Concourse B, and it was in Concourse A).
Wednesday afternoon in Manchester is apparently a great time to fly. The airport is dead quiet. No lines for check-in, security, or food. Way better than flying out of Boston.
Oh, and I should probably mention why Deef is in Texas. I joined the National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL) a little over a month ago, hoping to improve my understanding of the industry and also to improve my company’s foundation by figuring out and implementing some best practices for the printing side of things, much of which looks like it’ll carry over into the technology side as well.
These guys have a conference every year for owners of smallish print shops, which happens to be in Austin, TX this time. So, here I am. It should be fun!
