Alumni Road Trip in Austin

With TMEA over, the Alumni Road Trip officially started. My first stop in Texas is Austin, which is a puddle jump compared to some of the other drives I will be making oer the next week.

As it turns out, I have found that I have a knack for weird scheduling errors in the spring. Last year, I accidentally scheduled over Easter. This year, Valentine's Day was my hurdle. Luckily, out of the 200+ Sinfonians living in the area, two guys were able to escpae the clutches of love to have lunch at an Applebee's in a northern suburb of Austin. Oddly enough, the two brothers who attended are both employed by comouter companies (IBM and Dell).

With only two brothers, I didn't have to hassle with the projector and screen. I presented my PowerPoint straight off of the laptop I have with me. Both brothers were pretty in the loop. I do keep a few interesting facts in the presentation so there is something for everyone.

After we departed fromour lunch gathering, I started my long drive to El Paso. I am currently at a Comfort Inn in Sonora, Texas. Driving straight through would have been about 10 hours worth of driving. Instead, I cut out the first four hours this evening and will wrap up the second half of the drive tomorrow.

Tomorrow: EL PASO!
