Road Trip!

Fernando has been looking forward to the HOW Design Conference in Austin for months! He showed so much interest that he got Razor to agree to send him all expenses paid (about a $1,000 ticket, plus flight and hotel). Well, of course they laid him off one week before the conference. It was all cancelled. He even heard they were sending a new employee in his place -so terrible!

Then yesterday he got a 'high importance' email from HR saying they were unable to transfer or cancel his conference ticket with so little notice and he had better get to Austin (on his own bill). So, we packed up the car and here I am at the downtown Austin La Quinta Inn working on my blog while Fernando gets wined and dined at conference events. We had a nice, yet blistering hot, drive down and of course stopped at Czech Stop in West for kolaches. I am hoping to get a lot accomplished and enjoy the change of scenery. The hotel has a pool...
