They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I had intended to at least take a picture of David Adams's class, but in the rush to get checked out of the hotel and to the airport, it didn't happen. Here's a tip: all of David's classes are great. It is a rare privilege to take one. Web Woman and I took both of the classes he offered at the 2000 Summit in San Diego, and they were extremely valuable. If you ever get a chance, take a David Adams class.
This morning I packed everything, paid the hotel bill, and took the courtesy van to Orlando International. After waiting in a not-too-long line to check in, and then having another full-body pat-down at the gate (due to the doggone metal clasps on my suspenders), I made it to the plane. Bye-bye, Orlando!
What is the deal with the Dallas Fort Worth Airport? I think that it has been architecturally designed so that a passenger must always walk a minimum of at least a mile to get to their connecting flight. Not that I'm complaining, but I sure was walking. After a brief layover in the Big D I was off to San Jose. It was sort of funny how the "prominently displayed holster-mounted cell phone sidearm count" went way, way up when I got to the gate for my flight.

| Dallas from the air -- I think I saw South Fork on the way in. |
As we crossed the high desert and passed over the Sierras, I knew I was getting closer to home when I saw the fingers of fog (or was it smog?) stretching across the coastal range to cover the bay. After not too much longer, we passed over more of those half-million dollar shacks and then the high rises of San Jose. We landed, and I knew I was home when moments later I saw no less than 20 cell phones in use as we taxied across the tarmac. Ahhh, to be in the center of technology again.

| San Jose has big ugly buildings -- but at least they are the big ugly buildings I know and love. |
It was a lovely Summit -- here's to next year!
