The Power of the Internet and my vacation....
Well I haven't posted anything in a long time and I've now got a couple of hours to kill so I figured it's time for a quick post.
I'm currently sitting in a coffee shop in Wilmington, North Carolina's airport. Through the magic of free wi-fi I'm able to kill my couple of hours that I needed to wait for my cousin (Andy) and the rest of the guys in my golf vacation group to show up. (Maybe we need a quick back story here.....)
So Xan decided for my Christmas present that I needed to go on a golf vacation with a group of guys that I know that have been trying to get me to go for years. I had turned it down (again) in order to save some cash. But Xan felt I needed to do it and saved up the cash for me and got it. Andy has been doing this trip for a few years and they generally have 10-12 guys go. They do a team event in a Ryder Cup format making it a lot of fun and apparently a lot of trash talking for the next year until the next trip.
So I went ahead and gladly accepted my gift. I then checked with my company to ensure that we were NOT having a sales meeting this year and they confirmed we would not. About a week after booking everything I get the email saying we ARE having a sales conference this year. Guess when..... Yup, same week.
So I just got off of 3 red-eye flights in order to get into Myrtle Beach in time for the first round. I'm not too sure how well I'm gonna play, but I know I'm gonna have fun!!!!
So while I'm waiting for them to show up I'm able to watch a recording of a Steven Wright stand up routine that I got from my TiVo, chat with some friends on Skype, and monitor the status of the other guys flights on the web. Oh.... and type up this blog entry.
The web is pretty cool.....
