I’m writing from my friend C’s guest room in his very nice.. energy neutral house  in NY.
I’m staying here in order to save travel money for my company.. At first blush.. this might seem like a strange thing. here I am traveling for work.. but having to make my own travel accommodations…  but actually.. this is a real windfall. I had a wonderful time tonight catching up with my friend and his wife.. That would not have been possible had I stayed in a hotel. More and more I see the blessings that are hidden in constraints. If you get everything you think you need.. eg. travel money, equipment money.. free time. etc.. perhaps they become less important and precious to you.. I welcome the chance to improvise.. to mix personal 1:1 time with business travel..

am I nuts ?

nite folks..nite all
