My blog has become disjointed.

So I realize I haven't posted in more than a month, but I have a really good excuse. I have been really, really busy with work. We are getting geared up to finish a project and everyone is a bit strung out due to the tight schedule and lack of hours. Top that off with the other projects I have to think about - main one being a speaking engagement in Vegas that I haven't prepped for. I really haven't had much time to blog; much less much to blog about. I did go tubing in West Virginia for the first time and must say it was quite enjoyable, minus the crazy amount of paddling we had to do.

Let me explain, due to the lack of resources (I assume) the company said they would not pick anyone up after 5:30 pm unless each person paid $10. Now given the fact that there were at least 500 people still on the water at 5:30 - 6 pm, you would think this company had a building made of solid gold encrusted with diamond baby eyes, but it turns out that threat was just in place to try to get people to comply with the 5:30 rule.

It is actually much harder to get to the rendezvous point than it would seem. At about 5 pm we thought due to the 'not-to-scale' map on the wrist band they provide, we definitely were camping out in Deliverance town since we had not even reached the halfway point yet.

Long story short, we made it to the bus without penalty and returned to the safety of our gang-infested neighborhood without the 10 dollar penance. For a first time out on a tubing excursion, I would definitely do it again.

Next time we will rent 2 floating coolers for beer though.
