One of the benefits of my job is that when I’m not delivering training classes in front of my clients, I can work anywhere that I can get my laptop connected to a quality high-speed internet connection. Last week, I took advantage of that flexibility and went back to Waco to spend a little time with my mother in the evenings after work. While I had a great time visiting mom, this post is focused on all the other “extra” things I got to see and do while there.
First up, I had to get out to Texas. Waco is only about 100 miles south of DFW airport, but it seems the route from ATL to DFW had a little detour to Africa for some reason.

That glitch was there the whole flight and I was talking to some of the crew afterwards and none of them said they have ever seen anything like that before. Good news is the folks on the flight deck knew what they were doing and we got there is great time.
I like to take pictures of Airport Ceilings, but DFW is pretty lame on this theme. Fortunately, the car rental center had some eye candy!

I’m a big fan of National’s pick-any-car model for rentals and when I saw this cool Lone Star edition of a RAM pickup with a Hemi engine, I had to pick this vehicle from the lineup.

I got into Waco way past midnight, but my older sister who offered up her guest bedroom to me for the week was waiting up for me. In the morning, the truck was still looking awesome and the daylight helped remind me that I was jealous of the property sizes in her neighborhood – as well as her husband’s HUGE workshop!
A found a cool coshare office space to work for the week, www.wacowork.com, but I had to get through downtown Waco before I could arrive. Maybe you don’t know who Joanna & Chip Gaines are, but they are continuing to bring focus to Waco, Texas. To my surprise, even first thing on Monday morning the lines are already forming at the Silos!!!
