Wow - a whole week went by again.

Let see I ended up in Jacksonville by the way of Atlanta this week. Hurricane Ida's rain screwed with flights all over the east coast. I got to dinner 30 minutes late on Tuesday night. Ended up sitting between to the CEO and CIO of my company. Considering this company has 30,000 employees that's pretty cool. It was fine once I got over the initial anxiety.

Wednesday was an all day global planning session for on of my accounts I work on. They just happen to be the one I was visiting the week prior in NYC. Anyway Meetings all day, flight at 7:30, then get home by 11:45 PM. That is a long day.

I played with my phone a lot figured out how to use a bright kite application as well as a few other things. I really think I will twitter more when I travel. Just so many thoughts of what I see and do. I thought it would be pretty interesting if not funny on some of the things in my head. Of course I am a little goofy so I don't think every one thinks I'm as funny as I think I am.

I really wanted to post on craig's list missed connections after my flight from Jacksonville to Atlanta on Wednesday night. To complain to the world about this 5' 8" 250 pound kid I sat in front of - I say kid because I am 41 and he was 25 ish. The guy was the typical loudmouth know it all. Chatting next to the poor soul sitting next to him. First he talks Texas Hold em. Then he talks about living in Texas himself from 1990 to 1994 he left when he was in 4th grade. Race relations and neighbors in Texas. Really? you were what 9? Then he talked about a few other things which by that point I stopped paying attention. Until his 4 month old started screaming (right behind me). His 4 month old is the smartest and has motor skills way above any other 4 month old. His wife (sitting next to him and almost as annoying) is pregnant again. Then he starts discussing her biological clock, and shes chiming in 'uh-huh, that's right, Did I mention that he can be heard about 3 rows either way, he is so loud. Then the plane hits a bit of turbulence and he panics - 'Take the baby, take the baby' to his wife as he starts freaking out. It stops and he says wow that was weird. For the guy who travels from CA to ?? all the time this was not a big deal. Then the baby is crying again do to pressure changes (descending) He cups the kids ears and gives him a pacifier. 'See when I hold his ears is helps with the pressure' The poor guy subject to this next to him said 'or it could be that ye is sucking and that is helping (like gum)' Duh. There were a few more exchanges and i could not get off that plane fast enough...it was hilarious and horrible all at the same time.

So this just one of the things I see when traveling. Better for blog or twitter than face book by far.

Well off to try to finish the tile this weekend.
