Two weeks down - four to go . . .
This week was Orlando where I spoke and exhibited at a healthcare IT conference. It was very exhausting and not terribly exciting. Had one good meal at Vito's Chop House where our head waiter and his assistant both remembered me from when I hosted a dinner there for about 25 people last February. I guess I tipped well.
There were two interesting things that I observed. One was on the day I was leaving, the hotel's directory of events listed "Food For The Poor - Dinner." Now I know that this was a dinner being held for the organizer's of this cause, but I thought it was just dripping in irony.
The second was when I landed at Newark Friday night. There is usually a lot of traffic coming into the city through the Lincoln Tunnel on Friday evenings, but when I asked the cab driver how traffic was, he said it was very good. He said that since the economic crisis started, less people were coming into the city on the weekends - I guess for many it is an expensive proposition. Bad news for NYC businesses - good news for motorists.
Off to Portland, ME next week . . .
