Today is my last day of the west coast vacation. Kim's already on a plane heading home and I head to Seattle in a few hours. Right now I'm sitting at my parent's dining room table working on some of the final edits for the book chapter (Chapter 5). I'm also sitting here looking out the window at cloud covered mountains and impressive quantities of trees.
I've had a great time here in Spokane visiting my folks. I've eaten myself silly, starting with a massive Italian meal as soon as I landed. Since then Kim and I have been treated to home cooked meals, fancy seafood restaurants overlooking a waterfall, movies, and even a highly enjoyable two person play. The house is gigantic, perhaps a thousand square feet larger than the one Kim and I just bought. Lots of nice touches too, like alder wood cabinets and brushed nickel door and cabinet hardware.
Next week should be a great learning experience and a great deal of fun, but I'm already looking forward to going home and eating small and simple meals. I have been eating like it's going out of style recently! Time to scale back somewhat...
Next time you hear from me, I'll be in Seattle at the MVP Summit.
