I&#8217;m out here for a work conference and customer meetings.. it was a long, peaceful flight out here.. 6 hours and I didn&#8217;t say a word to anyone.. it&#8217;s fun being an instant introvert.\u00a0\u00a0 I love the non-time on the plane.. I don&#8217;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 \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 ).<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0210\/may0210081.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">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 \ud83d\ude42 to go visit my buddies Jeff and Michelle..\u00a0 Jeff and I are work freinds.. as well as burning man friends..\u00a0\u00a0 hey are truly amazing people. Jeff&#8217;s son was there.. as was his friend Jay. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0210\/may0210082.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Now.. it turns out that Jay was wearing the same ultra light weight running shoes that I&#8217;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\u00a0 a book called &#8216;Born to Run&#8217; by Chris McDougall.. its about runners of all types&#8230; I haven&#8217;t gotten to this part yet.. but there &#8216;s a big section that advocates barefoot or near barefoot running using thin soled, ultra light weight shows like Jays.\u00a0 It was the fith cooincidental sighting of this kind of runnign I&#8217;v eseen this week. Itook it as a sign. \u00a0 I downloaded the book just before taking off in Burlington.. and just started\u00a0 reading it\u00a0 before landing in LV&gt;. It&#8217;s really, really good.. I think you don&#8217;t have to be interested in running to enjoy this book. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" src=\"http:\/\/c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com\/images02\/147\/l_42c4595dcc1e403aa77a086c0d2a5568.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s so cool how things pop up everywhere in your life <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0210\/may0210085.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Now I&#8217;m back in my hotel room..\u00a0\u00a0 here&#8217;s the view from there&#8230; <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0210\/may0210087.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0210\/may0210088.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">I&#8217;m really really sleepy&#8230; only 3 -4 hours of sleep last night.. . so that&#8217;s it for this evening.. more tomorrow.. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">GNite everyone.. nite Sam<br \/>-me<\/div>\n<p><\/center>\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings from Las Vegas..
