No, Annemarie can't come out and play......

We made it to Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill - or wherever in NC we are, last night, and got settled into the (very nice) Washington Duke Inn. I've been told that we are right on Duke campus somewhere. Not that I'd know that if I hadn't been told, because we really won't get to see much of the beautiful scenery while we are here, so we might as well be in Bastrop for all that it matters.

Anyways.....last night, we had a small reception with all of the meeting attendees, and it was good to see, re-meet, and catch up with everyone since our first gathering, my first week of this job. Laura and I turned in early because we had some work to do. Well, we had plenty of time to get our presentations in order before we left Austin, but we waited....and waited....until the (almost) last minute.

So, we started to work on them around 10pm last night, and finally went to bed at almost 3am. I KNOW - crazy talk, but we wanted to get them done. Cheers to Procrastination!! Ugh. 6am wakeup call came REALLY early this morning.

I went over for the morning kickoff messaging from our CEO, and then had to leave because it's being sponsored by a competitor, and they didn't want us in there - hey, no problems here! So, I'm back in my room, working, about to go meet the other rejected folks for lunch....but I can't help wish that I was outside instead of working.

So, no, I can't come out to play today, but thanks for asking. I REALLY wish I could. Check out the beautiful view from my room!

Whenever you decide to make it out to SB... we'll get out to the driving range and the putting greens for a little golf lesson.

Maybe we can work on that +12... on the putt putt course. :o)
