Last Sunday evening I departed Fredericksburg VA for a meeting of the CyberProfessionals which was to be held in Pittsburgh PA. For the first time in a long time I was not driving. I had a wonderful chauffeur; fellow Active Rainer Jim Crawford.
Energized. That's how I feel. Energized!
The last time I was in Pittsburgh was when, as college students, my wife Carol and I went with two other students down to Zelienople, PA to spend a weekend at the home of one of our parents. On Saturday night we all went to visit the city of Pittsburgh. Needless to say I was impressed. This was, by the way, in 1956. Yes, I am that old!
Never have been back to the Pennsylvania "burg" since then. What a surprise was in store. We stayed at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel which was right across the river from beautiful, downtown Pittsburgh.
Hard to forget the scenery like that but I had to. Two full days of seminars with some very talented and brilliant members of the group. Active Rain's own Linda Davis a Kristal Kraft were there to keep us abreast of blogging while Tim Kinzler lectured us (and some of us really needed it) on staying healthy. Sharon Simms (another AR contributor) and her daughter Tammy added a great deal to the group. Terri Isner (who amongst us does not know Terri) shared some valuable information with us all.
The bad part about all of this is that I am nowhere near being as valuable a member of the group as they and so many others. You feel sort of inadequate among the giants!
Am sure that I received more than I gave at the meeting. For that I apologize to the others. Don't know if I will ever be able to soar with those eagles! Thank you all for all that you are!
