Greetings from Las Vegas.. I’m out here for a work conference and customer meetings.. it was a long, peaceful flight out here.. 6 hours and I didn’t say a word to anyone.. it’s fun being an instant introvert. I love the non-time on the plane.. I don’t think of anythin.. and mostly attend to mechanical things like clearing my in box. Today I did somethign I reavely get to do. I completly emptied my in box.. It was a wonderful feeling.. (though I had 88 emails waiting for me by the time I landed 🙁 ).
I got to LV and out of the airport by about 1.. and had a meeting in north west vegas at 2.. that left me plenty of time 🙂 to go visit my buddies Jeff and Michelle.. Jeff and I are work freinds.. as well as burning man friends.. hey are truly amazing people. Jeff’s son was there.. as was his friend Jay.
Now.. it turns out that Jay was wearing the same ultra light weight running shoes that I’ve been running into for the last several days.. the women in front of me in the airport screening line had them too. The reason this is so crazy is that Diane has been trying to get me to read a book called ‘Born to Run’ by Chris McDougall.. its about runners of all types… I haven’t gotten to this part yet.. but there ‘s a big section that advocates barefoot or near barefoot running using thin soled, ultra light weight shows like Jays. It was the fith cooincidental sighting of this kind of runnign I’v eseen this week. Itook it as a sign. I downloaded the book just before taking off in Burlington.. and just started reading it before landing in LV>. It’s really, really good.. I think you don’t have to be interested in running to enjoy this book.
It’s so cool how things pop up everywhere in your life
Now I’m back in my hotel room.. here’s the view from there…
I’m really really sleepy… only 3 -4 hours of sleep last night.. . so that’s it for this evening.. more tomorrow..
GNite everyone.. nite Sam
