I was looking forward to the conference in London. Too bad it couldn’t go through. Hope there will be another XDC to Europe in the future. ---

Welp, I submitted my proposed presentation topic: the business side of software development. Been slinging ones and zeroes since 1996 … 🤷‍♀️ This is the first conference where I will be within a _reasonable_ driving distance and have the time to go – finally my long-haul is lessened to the point I’m not in the doctor’s every month!! ---

What exactly is the dinner event? I’m having to plan for the fact that I now live without anyone other than my dog… so I may have to drive there and back on both event days to be home at night to walk and feed the dog on Monday night before driving back on in on Tuesday at stupid o’clock in the morning… and head home that same night. ---
