Louisville – Day 1
I spent the better part of the week in Louisville, Kentucky for a meeting. We stayed at the Seelbach Hotel, one of the historic places. (Read as: smallest hotel room I have ever used in my life.) Very pretty, clean, pleasant staff, $10 a… Continue Reading “Louisville – Day 1”
Postcards
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged this yet: I have long been in the habit of sending postcards to my nephew, Alex, when I travel. When he was very small, it was mostly an excuse to send him snail mail of his very own.… Continue Reading “Postcards”
Fargo in July
I took a quick trip out to Fargo this week for a presentation. The weather was lovely and I quickly realized that as many times as I had visited North Dakota, I had never been there in the summer. Never walked through and enjoyed… Continue Reading “Fargo in July”
On Conferences
I was at SHRM, a big city-wide national conference last week. The sessions were great, the key note speakers were fabulous and I feel like it was totally worth my time and (my employer’s) money. However, I am growing old and judgmental so I… Continue Reading “On Conferences”

After lunch, our group visited Bare Distillery Alaska, where they make Truuli Peak Vodka. They have a website, Twitter feed and Facebook page and I still had to add them to FourSquare! We met Jeremy, who the website calls “founding manager”. He explained that… Continue Reading “Bare Distillery Alaska”
Alaska Potato Chip Factory
While in Anchorage, my group toured the Alaska Chip Company, a small, family owned potato chip factory. I was all excited to post my pictures, but when I went to their website, I found they have an online tour with more and better pictures… Continue Reading “Alaska Potato Chip Factory”
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
My trip to Alaska was only in Anchorage – I didn’t get up to Denali and I didn’t take a cruise. But not the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is not far away and it is awesome. Which is a good thing because I ended… Continue Reading “Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center”
Travel Day – Anchorage
I am sorry to tell you the pictures will have to wait. I refuse to upload to my work computer and that is the one I have here. I was asked to speak at a conference, which was awesome enough. But when I heard… Continue Reading “Travel Day – Anchorage”
