Conferencing


Attending industry conferences is a must these days. The educational aspect of the events is a perk, but its the business development and networking that makes it worthwhile. Last week, I had to go to Orlando, FL for the ASHE PDC. I had a good time, but man was I tired when I got home. Being "on stage" for days at a time is rather tiring.

This was my first conference to attend as an employee of Leo A Daly. There were a few things about the travel arrangements and such that were a little different. For instance, the car rental is handled through the corporate office. Imagine my surprise when I was handed the keys to a Shelby Mustang GT-H convertible. Yeah, that one in the photo. Needless to say, I drove it around a little - top down. I got a few looks and a nice sunburn.

But, now it is back to work. There are follow up letters to write, phone calls to make, etc., etc. I am looking forward to the end of the month. March 29 will mark the opening of Spring Turkey season in Texas. My two boys and I will be in a blind that morning with thoughts of fried turkey and wall mounts in our heads. My youngest will be operating the video camera, a first for us on a hunt.
