Posted using my first wifi connectivity in two days. I can feel the withdrawal pains easing already. I wrote this on Sunday.
Once upon a time, I used to travel frequently for work. I worked for a company that had facilities in Houston, TX as well as Mount Union and Bethlehem, PA. I had all the frequent flyer and hotel rewards stuff down to a science. I haven't been on the road for more than a day trip since I started working at Penn State, which was just after my son (my second child) was born. This morning, I said goodbye to my two children, the oldest was crying and the youngest just wanted to watch The Wiggles. I had forgotten how much gets missed when away from home. Sure the breaks from routine are nice, but there are regrets for missing bedtime stories and playing trains on the living room floor.
VON 2007 here I come. I am looking forward to a great week learning about new solutions for IP Telephony, IPTV, and Video Conferencing. There will be some great open standards solutions represented there. I will just be looking forward a little more to picking up my kids on Friday when I get home.
