Last year I completed my first ever triathlon at the Tri Turtle Tri, and set my goal to complete more this summer so I could finish this course in two hours or less.

ISTE 2017
I’ve been to the ISTE conference for the past four years (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, San Antonio) and it just gets more fun. I know more people, I have an idea of what to expect, and I have fewer commitments. It’s like an exhausting vacation. 😉 I flew in on Sunday in first class with myContinue reading “ISTE 2017”
Quick Trip to Florida
I get to travel less and less nowadays, but occasionally someone asks me to do a certain type of event that we can’t send anyone else to do. This was one of those times, and it ended up that I would be in Sarasota, Florida. So Sunday I flew to Tampa and had a lovelyContinue reading “Quick Trip to Florida”

It was actually going to be in Seoul, Korea, until about January when Microsoft Global Security pulled the event based on the political situation in Korea. TorontoContinue reading “E2 2017 Toronto”
Women’s Retreat
Over the last weekend, I had the privilege of attending a local church women’s retreat with two ladies from my neighborhood and another friend from last year’s Bible study group. It was at Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal, and it was such a wonderful time. The weather was cloudy but dry during our afternoon freeContinue reading “Women’s Retreat”
