A lot of driving. I have forgotten how much driving is involved when on the farm. Everything is far. But I also had to drive up and back twice to Syracuse to pickup/drop off Angie at the airport and a business meeting for Wisdomino in Albany. Yeah it was a lot of driving for me. All and all it was about 4000 miles in three weeks. Early in the morning I decided to check out some auctions (dangerous).

AIIM International - The Enterprise Content Management Association Bonnie and I went to NYC for the day today. It makes for a long day but it can be done. The show was bigger than I expected and I spent quite a bit of time there, so we didn't do anything else while we were in the city.
