With my new role at the new company, I’ve taken on some additional responsibilities when it comes to travel. At FeedBurner, I’d make the occasional trip for a conference or to call on a customer, but it wasn’t a constant. From the looks of it, we’ll be here in NYC quite often and maybe even a trip every once in a while to visit Rick and Don in Mountain View.

I’ve had other roles with different organizations that required traveling (for those keeping score at home, I used to sell Drywall Screws in a 5 state territory), so it’s not something I have to get comfortable with. There’s all the normal headaches of travel like delays, bad beds, lack of exercise, etc. With plenty of things brewing on the homefront, it’s a little harder to get away this week. We have some major decisions coming up that give me pause, but there are also just the little things that aren’t any fun missing.

Yesterday, one of those little things came and went. My little girl, Maisy turned 2! I can’t believe we’ve had her for almost 2 years. Seems like it was just a few weeks ago that she came home. We went to the dog store in Frankfort and bought her a little cake to celebrate.

Happy B-day, Rooster. See you soon!
