canyonwalkerDallas Trip #1

Another week, another business trip! It's like the old days again. Where were all these trips last year, or the year before? Maybe it's just a coincidence that I have 4 trips in 6 weeks.
This trip I'm off to Dallas for a day and a half. I'm flying out early— I set my alarm to 4:45am to catch a 7:05am departure— and will spend the afternoon taking meetings remotely, then support a seminar at a major customer for a half day tomorrow. Then, back home!
A quickie trip like this to visit just one customer wasn't my first choice. My colleagues and I tried to schedule other in-person visits while I'm in Dallas. Unfortunately everyone's busy— or just doesn't want to be bothered to meet in person. In that respect it's not like the old days.
