Panama!

Well this week I'm in Panama City. I didn't know much about this place before coming here. If you are a big MTV nut then you know that for years they have been coming here to this tiny town to party with tens of thousands of crazy college kids. Last week started Spring Break 2005. It is pretty crazy down by the beach but lucky for me I worked about 12+ hours each day and the weather was crappy. It rained every day except today (the day I leave). I'm leaving soon to go to the beach and visit St. Andrews State Park. I'll try to send a picture or two latter. I had some pretty good seafood. Grouper is very popular here. On my next visit I'm coming early to do a bit of scuba diving.

A great view of Wild Horse Canyon (near Goblin Valley). A fun place to play 

THIS is Goblin Valley 

Just outside of Gobblin Valley sitting on a cliff of a few hundred feet. What a site! 

Getting inspired

Well, it should be obvious that since my postings have been sparse, that my travel has been also. I finally started traveling last week. I didn't write anything because it wasn't really a trip worth writing about. Last night, however, I spent a good hour reading Paul Allen's blog. It was interesting and very useful to me. It simply reenforces the idea that there is more information out then you can ever possibly read and learn. This guy, however, seems to post almost daily to his blog.

At any rate, here is a quick recap of my trip last week. I went to Reno to work with a long-time client. He just built a brand new home and I stayed there instead of the lame hotels. The Carlson's were wonderful hosts. I did go running each morning in the cool morning air and also had lunch at In-n-Out one day. The cool thing I saw was David Jr's new Mac (with 11 internal fans) hooked to his 30 inch plasma monitor. Very nice.

I had to hurry home to make the annual Scout campout to Goblin Valley. Pictures to follow.
