Good Morning, Good Afternoon friends,

During Lotusphere I stayed in a fantastic Villa in Davenport owned by my old boss and mentor Les Adams.  I left there yesterday and I'm now at my sisters for a day of shopping.  My sisters lived out for more than eight years or so.

I made the closing session of the show yesterday for the first time out of three times at Lotusphere.  There was a very short summary of the show from a vp of marketing.  Confidence at Lotus is sky high, they have a really strong offering for this coming year and next and they know it (without a trace of arrogance on their part).   The choice of speaker was inspired I hadn't heard of Neil deGrasse Tyson before yesterday.  It seems that he's the guy that demoted Pluto and he's an extremely entertaining speaker and geek.

....(real life interrupts as I type)

I have to go and take my neice to school now and then shop. I'll come back later and finish up
so ttfn and if you're flying home later tonight see you at the airport.
