Busy busy

I've had a rather busy travel schedule for work lately and have been to El Paso, Dallas, Detroit, Little Rock and the panhandle of Florida in the last three weeks; Chicago and Dallas next week. Here is a shot from my hotel after a hard day's work.

No really, it was an exhausting trip.... I swear! I have no idea how that beer got in the picture. Somebody must have planted it.

And it was nice to come home to this (my favorite color rose):


One good thing about travel is that I get more time to read and knit (on planes and in airports & hotels). I finished a couple books - Midwives by Chris Bohjalian and The Bright Forever by Lee Martin. I'd recommend both. I also started Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian. It's a real page turner!
