309.
$3.09 is the price of gas here in SoCal, although it very well could be the temperature! It is HOT here -- good thing I sweltered in Dallas a couple days to prepare myself. Of course, having to dress in business casual and sit in a small conference room with 20 people and 30 computers makes the climate seem a little worse then when I'm relaxing in Bertha wearing my usual uniform -- shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. ;)
I left the office about 6 so I could come back and work from the hotel in comfort. I don't know about you, but I really enjoy staying in a hotel on someone else's dime. When I'm paying for it myself I can't get over how expensive it is long enough to enjoy the experience. I don't need the Marriott or Four Seasons -- any old Motel Six that's clean and safe will do. I'm not sure why -- maybe it's just that I can leave the towel on the floor and never make the bed. :p
Those of you who got a lift from reading about the troop reception I witnessed at DFW on Sunday might want to watch this video my dad told me about. Apparently there's a man who goes out to welcome troops home almost every morning.
