Starting Monday, I will be on the road for work for 5 weeks straight, returning home only on some weekends. I will still be checking in when I can, but the volume of my posting will be down substantially.

Hey Drew,

It was good to see you when you were in Chicagoland. If your April travels bring you back here, let me know.

Starting tomorrow, I'm fully back in the saddle. I head to Dallas-Love Field to head home in a couple hours. I still have 11 more trips between now and July 31st, but most are just overnight runs and all low stress.

ok... seriously... it's gotta slow down eventually. I have 40 flights,(about 25 trips) scheduled between now and Jan 1.

Crazy Crazy travel, but keep in mind at least you have a job and are able to keep your life style going, not everyone has been so lucky.

I"m sorry guys, this really isn't what I want. I feel like I've been neglecting things around here... much less at my own house. I'm never home more than 4 days at a time lately and typically only weekends. I'm home all next week and then back on the road the morning after my birthday.

Make sure to take care of yourself Drew. We do not need you sick. Get rest, snuggle with a loved one and recharge when you can.

Have safe travels as we go into the nasty winter season. :)

Cool... I'm a US Airways fan, but my company always uses Southwest and Hyatt. But I do have a corporate Amex card, a corporate Mac Book Pro, a corporate iPhone, and a corporate iPad.. :)

I had a great time over the weekend. I spent three days relaxing up in the mountains and then work manages to undo all of it in 4 hours. I didn't want to get out of the car to go back into the office after lunch. I'm down in Tulsa this week (and was last week also).

Seattle has a november like winter storm for our first day of Spring. Raining cats and dogs with heavy wind in the city and dumping like crazy in the mountains. Skiing will be awesome this week. :P Since the storm started shortly after midnight, 6" has dumped already and they expect 2-3 feet today.

Wish I could get out there to go skiing

Any time you want to visit Seattle, I be happy to show you around and if it is during ski season, I take you with me and my son up the mountain. A good Pink wax job or Avacado wax for our heavy wet snow but it is killer to hit the back side of Cowboy ridge and do 2 1/2 mile runs in poweder. :P
