First full

Yesterday was my first real day of the conference.  My training courses however left a good portion of my afternoon open.  I took advantage by going to the hotel gym which is large and impressive, having everything and then some that I would ever need.  After showering I read more of my book.  Unfortunately for whatever reason at this age reading more than two chapters of a book induces a strong drowsiness effect.  I dozed off for close to an hour.

The crew from our office headed out to Bonefish Grill for dinner.  I had three or four Miller Lites to ease my awkwardness that typically sets in during forced social interaction.  It went fine though and my meal was good without being a caloric bomb.  After returning to the hotel some of the gang grabbed more alcohol at one of the on site bars.  I opted to call it a night.  After reading another chapter or two of the book I passed out again, before 10PM, something that never occurs at home, maybe because I don’t read before bed.  Maybe I should start.

Cindy called me to let me know of a situation at the house.  The RO water equipment evidently sprung some sort of major leak, she said water was flooding the yard.  When she opened up the cabinet that contains the equipment she got shot in the face with sulfur smelling well water.  Luckily we have a service agreement on the stuff.  She called the number and was walked through how to turn off the system until a tech can get there today to address it.  I felt bad about the timing, that she had to deal with it.

Unlike yesterday, my class schedule today is pretty much booked solid until 5PM.  I may try to ride and do something solo for dinner tonight or maybe hang with the crowd, I haven’t decided.

I took this incredibly cute picture of two of the finches in the cage the hotel has.  Enjoy, it’s free of charge.
