Tuesday, January 5, 2010 - Drive to Richmond, sans horses

Slept late (yeah! There's nothing like the luxury of sleeping late, is there?), finally made it into the house around 10:30, where the conversations began immediately. Swapping stories is always interesting with Dee and Paul, and in fact, Dee is even in the process of writing a book on some of her experiences with her horses over the years. Finally packed up and left in the RV with the dogs around 4:00, leaving our horses in their expert care while we followed our primary objective, work, for a day with a client in Richmond. Found out they had had a foot of snow a few days before Christmas, the parking lots still had tall piles of the white stuff. Needless to say, it continues to be cold, much colder than average for this time of year, and we're looking forward to heading south again, which may be all the way to Florida, though I hear they have frost warnings all the way to Miami! More of that global warming, eh?

Had a lovely Indian meal (our favorite ethnic cuisine, though Thai comes close!), then settled down in the parking lot of the hotel where we will be working tomorrow. Gotta love being able to sleep in your own bed every night, no matter where you are! As Buckaroo Bonzai would say, "Everywhere you go, there you are!"
