maintenance

yep, I'm still totally blowing it on updating this thing with pictures.  this trip has been way too busy for my liking.  just too much movement.

Finally, though, I'm at an amazing hotel in Taichung, Taiwan called hotel ONE.  Every room is set up for being away from home on a work trip.  Huge built in desk, flat panel TV, A/V wires to connect your laptop to the TV screen OR to connect to the surround sound Sony system that each room has...

Yes, Astrud Gilberto was nice to wake up to coming through the speakers and keeping everything mellow.

Met up with 3 fellow crankbrothers last night and today all 6 of us will be traveling to visit vendors together.  that should be interesting....i'm usually not a big fan of groups larger than 2 traveling around places together as everyone has to get organized and stuff, but it will be fine....just breathe....ok, it will be alright.

8:04 am and I'm just waking up and the crew is meeting to leave at 8:30 and I still haven't showered or had coffee yet.  AWESOME!

hopefully tonight I'll have some time to sit down at this computer again and get some of the pictures from the trip posted.
