What's Going On Today?

After a rather hectic two weeks of constant projects needing attention I finally caught up and I now have a well deserved break. I still had a few things on my to-do list but I’m knocking them off one by one.

The first thing was to get Matt’s New Surfacing Bible ordered. If you haven’t ordered yours then get over to his site now!

Second thing to do was to talk to my boss about the upcoming Southeastern SW User Workshop. He was receptive to the idea of me going when I told him that I would be taking the wife for a weekend getaway and would pay for half the cost myself. Now I just have to figure out what’s to do in Columbia, South Carolina. I’m sure the wife will find somewhere to shop during the day when I’m in session. Now that’s a scary thought! And then there’s always the zoo which I hear is top notch. Does anyone have any recommendations for night life and a Saturday outing in the area? I still need to register and reserve the hotel room. I’m sure the wife will have some input on the hotel. It appears that nice hotels in the area are far and few between. This observation is based on the reviews I’ve read online, maybe someone has some personal experience in the area they will share.

If you’ve never been to a SW summit or a workshop then I urge you strongly to consider going to this one. The line up of speakers is awesome and I can say from personal experience that you will learn a few things to take back to your job that will make you more productive. Sell it this way to your boss and I’ll see you there…

  1. Now I just have to figure out what’s to do in Columbia, South Carolina. find somewhere to shop (Columbia Mall is about 3 miles from the workshop. Columbiana Center is a bigger mall about 10 or 15 miles down I-20 to I-26 at Harbison Blvd.
    And then there’s always the zoo which I hear is top notch. (Yes it is!)Does anyone have any recommendations for night life and a Saturday outing in the area? This link should give you some ideas http://www.free-times.com/ I still need to register and reserve the hotel room. There are a lot of Motels/Hotels in the area, but the best bet is search for one using Yahoo or Google.
