I love being on the road. But after 3 weeks of travel I’m happy to be home and sleep in my own bed. I’ve had amazing experiences at @ConferenceNE @ThatConference and @BeerCityCode! The people I’ve met have been amazing! But it’s time to get back to “normal” life.

Great day at #BeerCityCode. My second session had a few people (more than I expected considering it's a logging talk) and there were some great sessions. Thanks to everyone who attended and to the #BeerCityCode team for a great conference!

Once again reminded why I fly @americanair.bsky.social. There was a flight delay that was going to cause me to miss my connection, so they put me on a flight that was already boarding and held it while I ran across the terminal. Now I'm back on track for #BeerCityCode.
