Six trips left to close out this year. Most are very short, so that’s good, but still, it’s a bunch of packing and prepping to do.

Here’s my list:

Sept 25 - SQL Saturday #52, Denver Tech Center, OK, so not a real trip, but still I’ll essentially be gone for a day and a half from home with a late Fri night, all day Sat, getting home late Sat night. On the plus side, I get to hang with Jack Corbett from Orlando while his wife talks horses with my wife.

Oct 1-3 - SQL Saturday #53, Kansas City, speaking here, and getting to a Royals game for the first time ever. *cool*

Oct 19 - Boulder SQL Server User’s Group - It’s a day trip, but over an hour from my house to the group, so I’ll count it.

Nov - Nov 2 - 5 am - SQL Connections and Dev Connections and the Las Vegas SQL Server User’s Group. SQLServerCentral is sponsoring a track and Jason Brimhall convinced me to make good on my promise of speaking to his group Thur night.

Nov 7 - 8 - Heading to Seattle to take care of some admin stuff and hang out with Brent Ozar for a day.

Nov 19 - Nov 21 - NYC. SQL Saturday #59. A last minute decision, but I want to support these groups and this will cement my Premier status for United for next year 😉

I’ve got a couple ski trips with the family planned as well (Thanksgiving and Christmas), so it looks like a busy fall for me.
