I Have a Confession...

...I'm going to enjoy this trip.

Sometimes I get to do fun stuff for work. Under normal circumstances, working for the man isn't all that great. But, every so often, the man I work for likes to take all of his direct reports on a business trip that's also heavy on the pleasure side of the equation. I happen to be leaving for one of those trips at 6:00 AM this morning.

It's hard enough as it is when I leave Julie home with three kids under three years old while I'm traveling for work. Take a look at my itinerary for this one and you can imagine just how solidly I'm in the dog house right now. If you'd like to show your sympathy for Julie, you can leave a message on her blog here.
