Let the light of the light house shine on
This week covered yearly Microsoft TechEd event in San Diego. Still an enthusiastic and workmanlike lot.
A gypsy woman asked me the first night as she stood outside of her dress shop, "Are there no women at this convention? All men?"
"9:1 men:women," I guessed.
Well that was pretty much the fact of it. And we mens get wider each year in our Dockers and jeans, at TechEd constantly passing food stations with snacks and ice creams, soda, yeah and water and fruit and granola bars. I did not go hungry.
Itself, San Diego, did not come into real view. Stayed at something resmbling the Lorraine Motel - stilletto heal sounds on the walkway at 5am, but it was pleasant inside. Watched the vital harbor but from parapets mostly as at the big white convention center. Seemed like a comofrtable suntanned sailing place - but at night also had tough edge feel of 'Cops," the Saturday night TV show which foists wornout sunburnt crackedup doomsters as entertainment.
Said goodbye - saw azure, sunset and traces on clouds -from a Canadair, me in my azimuth, above San Diego, where miliatry helicopters puckpuckpuck.
