On the Road...

It's always interesting to be on the road and be asked, "where are you from?"

Yesterday, I found myself in Orlando, a.k.a., the most miserable place on earth if you don't have kids and/or a Brian Kamler-esque Disney-file with you.  I was here for a conference of Marketing and Development professionals connected with public radio in the USA.  This was one of my final pieces of business for Snow Lion before diving 199% into USA Team Handball.

Even here, I found connections with people I knew from the soccer world, and friends of friends who knew people who knew people from Utah.  This conference actually took place at Snowbird a few years ago and many who attended came away with an entirely skewed view of Salt Lake City and our surrounding state.  "There's nothing to do there!" is an accurate statement, when you consider a majority of the participants in the conference at Snowbird didn't have a rental car and thus couldn't get off the resort property.  One who did found her way to Ruth's Diner of all places.

Anyways, I have been immersed for several weeks in USA Team Handball.  The basics still elude us - a functioning website and office space, for starters - but I hope to be closer to 100% functional by next week. I also anticipate launching a blog at teamusa.org on the Team Handball page, but rest assured the 'Hat Rack will not go unattended.

After a red-eye to Orlando 24 hours ago, and a 3:45am wakeup call to return back to Utah, I'm ready to go back "home."

Thanks for the updates. It's good to know what's going on with you! I finally posted some pictures of my visit to Molinari Delicatessen on my blog. It made my mouth water all over again. If I could bottle the smell coming out of that place, I'd be rich. :)
