I’m watching this week’s episode of Glee again while writing this post, and the “I Love New York/New York, New York” mashup really inspired this title.

Greetings from Seattle! I am not adjusting to the time zone, despite the 3 hours difference. I was up bright and early at 5am, happy to be reunited with my luggage. Ah yes, one of those adventurous trips where I’ve beaten my luggage to the destination. At least it made it to the right hotel! [...]

As I pack for the Microsoft MVP Summit, I think of all the experiences I had last year. There’s an experience in general that got me thinking, and I have a challenge for all of the MVPs who are going out to the Summit. Last year, I was sitting in the hotel lobby with some [...]
