Road trip- part 2

I'm not sure why but this morning was another 3:30 a.m. wake up event to which I never really get back to sleep. I may have walked in early because I'm or was stressed out about the coming trip I was about to take. I'm on the assistive technology advisory council/board and today was the quarterly meeting and today the meeting is to be held in Logan Utah about an hour and a half away from Salt Lake. We usually meet here at Salt Lake but the group really wanted to get together and go up to Logan for the meeting so they wouldn't have to come down. I think I may have talked about this already a little bit this week but today I actually went. I could have zoomed into the meeting and probably less stressed then the actual drive up. When we decided on doing this all 90 days or so ago my friend Kent who is a big gun over at u c a t indicated he would take the Salt Lake City crew up in the van which actually had a wheelchair lift on it has on it and therefore I would be able to go too if I wanted to. I figured this would be a good reason to get out of the city for the first time in maybe 7 years.


I wasn't sure if he/kent really remembered that he was driving up and I know that we had talked about picking me up but I wasn't sure what time so I called him around 7:00 a.m. and he reassured me that he would be by to pick me up around 10:00. Kent was a little late but not bad. The other folks that were going to go with us didn't show up so it's just Kent and I and we had a good trip good conversation made the drive a little bit quicker it seemed like. We got in about 11:55 there's a lot of construction around the building we were going to making it difficult for us to get in. It was the very six Belfair of box lunch not half bad I ate half my sandwich but they didn't have chips I would like to have had chips. They had this bizarre pesto macaroni salad and I ate that I can't believe I did. The meeting is okay not too bad we got some business done and soon it was time to head back to Salt Lake. We talked a lot on the way back much more than on their way up it was good discussion we went over the old times in the old days when we were just new working at this kind of stuff. We talked about old people that we used to work with who are now gone one way or the other and the the days we are living in and whether or not we will end up Surviving them. It was good to get home I was a little uncomfortable I ended up wearing a long sleeve shirt because I did not know how warm or cold it would be in Logan- - it was warm. It was good to get home to relax they sent a box lunch home with me which I stuck in the refrigerator I'll be able to have that tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm on the road again not going as far just south to the I'm not sure why but this morning was another 3:30 a.m. wake up event to which I never really get back to sleep.
