On Alaska 388 for a quick trip to San Francisco to meet Tom and Joe for the first time. Excited for what’s ahead, both the future and the conversations we get to have for the next 24 hours. With any luck, I’ll be back in Portland tomorrow by 7 pm for the PDXWP developer meetup.

Travel this month: VIP meetup in Las Vegas starting today, New Zealand for Webstock at the end of next week, and then a combo Utah for skiing and Kentucky for NICAR at the end of the month. Wish me luck. And if you happen to be in any of those locations, hit me up.

Two highlights of this morning. One, waking up early enough to (mostly) finish painting the bedroom. Two, getting to the airport early enough to get a Velvet Hammer from Coffee People.

This morning: Ran along the Victoria waterfront, drank hot tea in the rain on the walk back, and ate a delicious breakfast of waffles and bacon with Leah and her grandparents. It’s nice to slow things down every once in a while.

Oh, and we’re thinking about taking a floatplane back to Seattle on Tuesday. Fingers-crossed that it works out.

Flying Alaska 244 down to San Francisco for ONA tomorrow through Saturday. Cab to plane in twenty minutes, picked up a dirty chai, and first class bump to boot. I have perfected the art of flying. Knock on wood.

It sounds like the WordPress users at ONA might be getting brunch together on Sunday morning. Let me know if you’d like to join.
