I’m currently on my way to Kansas City, MO for the 52nd Annual Technical and Education Conference<\/a>, organized by the American Design Drafting Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had to get up early to get to the San Francisco airport for my flight to Kansas City. \u00a0This means I had to feed and walk my dog earlier in the morning. \u00a0He didn’t complain. \u00a0The morning air was crisp and refreshing. \u00a0A couple of ducks were waddling down the middle of the road as if they owned it. \u00a0My dog tried to run them off. \u00a0He didn’t see the jack rabbit sprinting across a grass field in a nearby park a few minutes later. \u00a0I’m still amazed that I get to see all this wildlife even though I live within of the vast Silicon Valley metropolis. \u00a0I haven’t yet spotted any larger animals, like mountain lions. \u00a0At times, the roving gangs of raccoons are the near second to that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m flying into Phoenix on my way to Kansas City. \u00a0There aren’t many direct flights from the San Francisco bay area to the heart of America, despite the fact there are three international airports within driving distance of my home.<\/p>\n

I’ll be reporting on my trip to the conference here and on twitter at hashtag #atec11<\/a>. \u00a0I’m sure that the ADDA will also be posting comments to hashtag #adda<\/a> for their own updates.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be at this conference, please don’t\u00a0hesitate\u00a0to introduce yourself to me.<\/p>\n
