Wow…my last post was on August 18th!
On September 27th, I took the train to Chicago so I could start a short-term (1-month) Silverlight gig in Chicago on Monday. After 3 intense days with the project team, I came back home Wednesday night so I could see my family before heading out for the Richmond Code Camp. I left home around 7am Friday morning, stopped in Columbus, OH around 11am to pick up James Bender and then after another 7 1/2 hours, we arrived at our hotel in Richmond. I’m currently sitting in the final session at the Camp after presenting two successful sessions (ActiveRecord and Software Estimation) earlier in the day. This has been a great event — Kevin and crew have done an outstanding job.
We’re going to leave early Sunday morning for the long-ass drive back to Columbus and then on to Michigan. I’ll be catching the early train back to Chicago Monday morning so I can spend the entire week in the city. I’ll be home Friday night for 2 days, then back, to Chicago for 4 days. I’ll be heading to Cincinnati on October 15th/16th 16th/17th (with my family) for the MVC.NET Firestarter event. I’m looking forward to the event because I really haven’t done any web development for close to two years and I think this will be a great re-introduction. We’ll head back home so I can catch the train back to Chicago on the 17th 18th. The final day of the gig is the 23rd. Did I mention my birthday is on the 21st? 
Anyway, life has been crazy. I’m already looking forward to getting back to my normal schedule.

Maybe it would be easier if you started flying
Such is the life of a Super Star !!!
@Shawn – Yea, I think I’m gonna get over this fear of flying pretty quickly. This trip was insane. :-\
@Dan – lol, if you could only see the hotel I’m staying at in Chicago…the farthest thing from being a Super Star.
+1 to what Dan said. Congrats on having two great talks at RCC.
You probably already figured this out, but the MVC Firestarter is on 10/17. You’re just one off on all the days listed.
But hey, it’s great you’re making the trip, family in tow and all! We are planning to have a nerd dinner the night before and I just created the invite http://nerddinner.com/1129. Coincidence? Maybe…
Feel free to bring the whole crew, just email me at matt dot brewer at gmail dot com to give me a idea of how many you are bringing.
@Matt – I’ve updated the post with the correct dates.
I also RSVP’d for the dinner.
I’m really looking forward to coming down and seeing everyone (and learning a lot at the event).
