Phoenix

Just back from the southwest and I would have to say it was enjoyable, though I was working the majority of the time. It was an incentive trip for one of our clients sales force, and we were filming their video candids for them. Nothing beats filming other people having fun... but actually the perks are good. I got to go on the ATV's with them which was a blast but made it quite difficult to film. We bought a helmet cam just for this event that made it a bit easier, and we actually got some great footage from it. Also got to go river rafting on the Salt River with them and saw some bald eagles and wild horses.

We stayed an extra day and wrapped up the trip with 27 holes of golf, which is necessary when you visit Scottsdale. If you ever wonder how they keep the courses so green in the middle of the desert, it is because they water them with Phoenix's waste water... which is gross, but useful.

I had a nasty debate about Bush and the war with a friend of my dad who lives in Phoenix. Too many margaritas and political polar opposites did not mix well. But I was right, and that's all that matters.

I came home to a wonderfully green lawn and trees in full bloom which was so very refreshing. The cats pretended not to care I was back but I know deep down they have been yearning for my return. Little bitches. I hope all of you bitches are yearning as well.

I really have nothing useful to say, so it ends here.
