God Bless Texas

I find myself in San Antonio, Texas this week for an Air Force journalism conference.  This morning has been solid briefings -- while not the most exciting things ever, they were at least somewhat informative and a good thermometer for the current public affairs climate in the Air Force.

We're staying a hotel near the Riverwalk which is nice.  The one huge drawback: no wireless.  Well I shouldn't say no wireless, there is wireless in the lobby, but not in the rooms.  Which is kind of a pain.  There are sleep number beds in the rooms, but no wireless?  That just doesn't make sense.  So down to the lobby I must go if I want to check e-mail, etc.  As an added level of not-so-much-fun, the office laptop refuses to connect to the secure network so I can check my e-mail and, with several major projects coming to a head this week, that is nothing to be happy about.

Yesterday was a long day of travel -- it still never ceases to amaze me just how long it takes people to get on and off an airplane.  I just don't get it.  You stand up, grab your bag and you walk off the plane -- where's the hold up?  But overall good flights, got some sleep on each flight which was desperately necessary after only three hours of sleep.

Well the next session starts soon so I'm off.  Enjoy your day.
