KC

So, this week I got to come to KC for a few days, we'll call it a business trip. Ok, really it was a business trip, but I enjoying actually seeing the people I am working with so much it doesn't often feel like work.
I landed Monday evening a bit later than expected after some delays in Denver, but when I was going up to pick up the car I ran into my friends Benson and Ana from my SLC ward. I knew they were here, but hadn't planned on running into them, so it was a very pleasant surprise. The not so pleasant surprise is that the delays landed me in the middle of rush hour traffic... not a big deal, just time consuming.
We were staying at the Marriott, which is a lovely hotel, but for some reason my computer and their internet provider decided they did not want to play nice in the sandbox. Jason said to call it a vacation - 2 days with out email ;) I said it was the worst vacation ever :P I must admit, it did let me log on just long enough to pull out the part of my work that HAD to be done on Monday night, so fate did smile on me there.
It's funny though, because all anyone can talk about this week is how cold it is. At work, on the bus, in the lobby, at the restaurant, you can hear people referencing the termperature and what is to come. I am going to give it to them, it IS cold. It is COLDER because I am a dork and did't pack my big coat. But I am used to cold, and I didn't so much plan on spending all that much time outside - I forgot that nothing is close together on campus ;)
Today I am headed home. It was good to spend the morning learning new things, trying to get an idea of what is to come - and I am ready to get back to the balmy 38F that it is in SLC right now ;)
