Last week I went on my second business trip, for a meeting with the project team in Montana. On the way there, we stopped in at Park City, UT, since we had to fly through Salt Lake City anyway, and had a good work session with a member of the project team. Park City is a pretty nice town, even in the summer, though its changed a lot since I was last there (sometime around 1994 is my best estimate). For instance, The Canyons, where we stayed, didn't even exist last time I was there.
The owners of The Canyons are a client of ours, so it was nice to take a look at what they refer to as their ideal ski area, but in reality I only spent about an hour awake while we were there. Then it was off to Montana for a two hour meeting, which was preceeded by a two hour lunch since we weren't needed earlier, and followed by a work session with my boss since we had time to kill before we had to get to the airport. I had a 3.5 hour layover in Denver before catching a red eye back to NYC, and while the Denver airport is probably as good a place as any to hang out for a few hours, I was pretty sleepy so I didn't explore too much.
When I got back to NYC, I crashed for a few hours before going to work, and then met Sam to celebrate his b-day in style at The Strip House. Mmm, best strip steak I've ever had. Very yummy. 
Then on Friday I met Sam in Queens after he picked up a rental car at JFK and we headed up to my parents weekend house in the Berkshires. Much needed relaxation ensued, with interludes of bike rides and seeing family. And best of all, the dahlia's were in bloom in the garden just in time for our visit.
