I am back from my most recent roadtrip. I loaded up the Tesla and started letting the hands-off Full Self Drive (FSD) supervised take me to points North. First stopping in a campground in Tennesee and up to Pittsburgh for the CIDM Convex Conference (which was the best conference in years). There was a celebration of the 20 years of DITA XML.

I made a bunch of runs around this nice little lake in Wichita (wee-cheeta) this past week. It sure was a refreshing difference from the hamster wheel I am usually on in the gym. The lettuce in the beer is my trend setting idea of healthy eating. Who says you can't get what you want?
