The day-to-day ramblings of an IT Trainer and Community Leader

  • Oh What a Night!

    New Years Eve… December 31st, 2008.  We left our hotel at 1pm and did not stop having an incredible time for over twelve hours!  I started to blog when we came home last night, but it was a lost cause.  It is now New Years Day, and I have a lot to remember from last night.
