You can always...

...go home. And that is what I did last weekend. Usually we try to do all of our work meetings in Colorado. You know, we pick out a nice spot up in the mountains: We ski in Vail in the winter, we raft in Buena Vista in the summer. But this year? Texas. Texas in the summer. The meeting started on Tuesday and lasted through Saturday. That being said...I rolled in on Friday afternoon. I couldnt stand the heat, I left the kitchen.

It wasnt so bad - the other people in the company had meetings all week, went to surgery to further their training, financials, sales calls, etc. I came in just in time to eat dinner at Joe T's and head out to Lake Granbury to play on the lake. Couldn't have planned it any better.

But this is the week of having two full time jobs: ATX SummerWEEN is on Saturday. So I am in the process of collecting money, renting busses, sending emails, compiling guest lists, trying to collect money, emailing people about collecting money, reserving places, calling places, obtaining canned fishing beer, mixing drinks, buying styrofoam coolers, figuring out costumes, prepping costumes, etc. You know, party stuff. I mean, I am excited about the party itself - but what I am more excited about is that more and more people are getting involved in ATX (Awesome to the Max, the Denver Adult Superfraternity). For me, ATX isnt really about the parties, but about the community of 20 and 30 somethings that can all get together and make a difference in the community...all the while having fun. More to come on that...

See you Saturday. Go ATX. Please keep the noise down on Sunday, and get me another Gatorade. Oh, and a hamburger. And some Aspirin.
