First impressions<\/a>:<\/p>\n

WOW! Everyone’s really REALLY nice!<\/p>\n

WOW! It’s not as flat as I thought<\/a>…um…yes it is<\/a>…no it’s not.<\/p>\n

WOW! It’s WAY smaller than I thought and WAY more industrial<\/a>!<\/p>\n

WOW! The steak is really really good!<\/p>\n

So, I got in on the same flight as my NYC compatriots–though we didn’t figure that out until baggage claim–and rode the little Radisson shuttle in (piloted by Mike).<\/p>\n

Checking in was like checking into a ghost town. Dunno if it was a Sunday or if the Radisson is in danger of going under, but…<\/p>\n

They have all the pilots stay here, so I GUESS they’re okay.<\/p>\n

The other thing that’s amazing is…they have Sleep Number Beds<\/a>. Go figure! I’m in HEAVEN.<\/p>\n

We had a lovely dinner where we were able to go over our presentation for tomorrow over dinner and wine (God Bless the interpretation of their Blue Laws) and shared dessert. It was a great time…and it’s been a long time since I’ve had a work experience like this. A nice visit to the old days. And very, very good to see Rebecca who is our Professional Development Guru. She’s (to quote Vera) a Rock Star.<\/p>\n

So, unless disaster strikes, tomorrow should be fine. (I won’t let myself get more effusive than that.)<\/p>\n

Ah! I can hear the train rumbling by…<\/p>\n

ND is a different world. Literally, the tundra was outside our plane windows. I had no idea…<\/p>\n

I’m nearly finished with my Six Sox KAL sock (Springtime in Paris sock) which is a very nice place to be. Almost done with the gusset! Whoo hooo!<\/p>\n

6:30am breakfast with Rebecca so I’m very very in need of sleep.<\/p>\n

Until the morrow…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
