At the TCEA Technology conference

We made it to the Technology conference yesterday evening.  We had left after Sunday Morning services at about 2:00PM.  There were four of us in all from the school riding together. The drive here to Austin went with out incident.  We stopped at a Buc-ee's on our way here.  I had some really good hot chocolate from there.  It's flavor was Strawberry-Dark chocolate.  I also had a peppery turkey sandwich with pepper jack and jalapenos.   When we arrived to the hotel every one else went out somewhere.  I stayed in and got to talk to my kids through Google-Talk.  I am very proud of my family.  My son Joshua led the B.T.C lesson in my absence.  He did a really good job leading the class.

I went to bed at a good time but was tossing and turning all night.  My wife and I are not away from each other very much and I am not able to fall asleep well without her near.  At about 2:30AM I decided that I wasn't going to ever fall asleep, so I went downstairs to the lobby and would study and have some coffee until 5:00Am when the fitness center opened.  It turned out that coffee wasn't made until 5:00 either.

The receptionist said that I could use the fitness center if I wanted.  They had several nice machines in there to use.  I brought my computer with me and listened to educational streaming while I exercised.  I stayed in there from about 3 to 5 and then came out to the lobby to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the granola bar and pop tarts that I brought with me.  I must say that the coffee, (Free Starbucks Coffee) is very good.  I will probably be very tired later but I have had a very good morning.

Today I will be going to an Adobe academy class from   8:00AM to 5:30PM, digging into some of the details of Adobe products.  I need to go for now and get ready to go as it is already 6:20AM now.
