Back from Dallas

Category
Well I actually got back Tuesday, but have been busy with end of year stuff. Even though I was there for a short time, my host Lance Spellman of Workflow Studios was great, and the folks I met with were a good group of people, with a great sense of humour, which always makes meetings more fun. I have to admit, this is the first customer in years that I have come across that still uses NetMeeting as the client for Sametime meetings.

We went out for dinner on Monday night to a restaurant in Gaylord Texan, which just makes me laugh out loud and for some reason makes me think of Dick Emery. Gaylord Texan feels a lot like a casino in Las Vegas, but without the gambling and constant ding ding ding background noise of slot machines. We had dinner at Ama Lur, where I had a very tasty short rib (I was in Texas after all) with a yummy jalapeno cheese mashed potato.

I still managed to get my steps in by using the treadmill in the hotel, no where near as much fun as walking with the dog, but it got the job done. It was funny to go somewhere and have people ask "Have you done your steps today ?" I always forget that there are actually people out there who read my drivel.

Coloring competition entries are starting to come in, and they look great, I've created a flickr set and I'll be posting them there. It doesn't matter if you or your kids, or nieces and nephews can colour, it's all about the fun of entering and getting into the holiday spirit.



Step catchup...and also a correction to my weight loss. My sister was very nice to point out (again) that I screwed up my sums for my weight loss, last week I made the mistake of taking the weight I had lost away from my total weight lost, versus adding it. So last weeks number of total weight loss being 34.7 lbs should have been 37.7 lbs.
