January was a busy month- a lot of new budget has come open, and a lot of projects that were back burner have become front burner. And at the same time the firm is being headhunted like one of those beached whales with the flock of seagulls going to town.

I took a trip to Dallas for a presentation, but I can't say I was impressed. It was my first trip to TX, and it was less then ideal, so I am going to reserve judgment anyway. But due to a massive Air Conditioning Convention in town, the only rooms we could get were in a gritty motel down behind the Wal-mart near the DFW airport.

I hear Austin is nice- I think we need to do a road trip down through the South West sometime soon.
