The next three days

The next three days will be a little rough. Brutal, even. On Wednesday I leave for a two day business trip to San Francisco – the datacenter project. Travel time, all day meetings, small talk with lots of new “friends”. Then on Friday we head east for Louisville and a nice long stay for Derby and beyond, but we don’t arrive until midnight. So three long days. Haven’t done that in a while, so I expect to be wiped out when we get there.

Things I’m looking forward to in KY:

  • Seeing friends and family in town
  • A grandson birthday
  • Spring flowers, particularly dogwood
  • The Derby, of course
  • A great meal cooked by Alison Settle (of Barn8 fame), just for my Derby party
  • Some serious photography
  • A nice round of golf at the Fuzzy Zoeller course in Indiana (couldn’t get onto Valhalla, sadly)
  • E-bike rides around the area and The Parklands
  • Going to the grandsons’ soccer games
  • Planting some tomatoes

So after three tough work/travel days, it’ll be worth it. Title picture is from The Standard Club a year ago.
