Day 322 – The Day I Came Home!

I am headed home today from a long trip.  We had long days every day on this cutover, but it was still a great time.  I got to sit with the person running the cutover and he was answering some question and I was really getting into it.  I got to see several people who I have worked with on different occasions – always good!

We were in Richmond Virginia and even if it was a bit cold it was so pretty here with the leaves changing colors.  Ariel, the person who I was with, took me all over looking at stuff which was so great.  We even had some time to catch a movie.

I really hope I will be able to spend more time in the field next year like we did this one.  It was satisfying to be able to help people with real work rather than just making up fake stuff to show.  I like to leave people feeling a little bit better about the tool and I think that I succeeded on this trip.

I can not wait to get back to Dad and the puppies.  I hope they haven’t forgotten me 😉  I will be so happy to get back to work!

Here are some pics.
