It’s about 2:50AM, and I’m having trouble sleeping. Why? Possibly because I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how I can get down to Lotusphere. I can’t think of anything to present, so an abstract is out. I haven’t formally asked the company I work for if I can go yet, but based on how they are doing as a company, I think that I’m going to get shut out for the second year in a row. I know I come back from the ‘Sphere with more energy, and with more knowledge than I can get from any Google search out there. I also get to touch base with my friends out there (and people who don’t know that I consider them my friends). I had a bad dream this morning that one of my co-workers were sent by my company and I wasn’t. This time of year drives me nuts….

I’m going to try to sleep again…wish me luck!
