Minneapolis Software Symposium

I just returned from NFJS in Minneapolis. It was an extremely intense weekend. I attended around 15 hours of sessions, not counting keynotes or expert panels. And I loved every moment of it. I love being with other geeks, discussing things that not alot of people around me at home understand. I love the inside jokes, the fact that everybody hates IBM and Microsoft. It is just plan fun.

Also got to hang out with some friends in MPLS. Friday, I went up to Albertville to see my friends Dave and Linda. I love seeing them. They are like my second parents. Both of them were at one time or another a sunday school teacher, babysitter, surrogate parent, and friend. Truthfully, they were always my parents friends, and for a long time that is how I thought of them. But now, I realize that they are my friends too. I have been emailing with Linda in the last couple of days. I am liking talking to her.

Also, saw my friend Laura, on Saturday. Went out to supper, stayed up too late talking. Had a good time.

Wore myself out this weekend though. Slept til noon on Monday. Excited for this weekend, as I will be heading to Black Hills to see the parents.

Happy Easter everybody!
