Where In The World Is Sum1?

Brentwood, Tennessee

Brentwood, Tennessee

         The week of 6/17 found me in Brewood, Tennessee again. It was an easy 2 day class, Tuesday thru Friday.  Then we were told that on Wednesday 6/19, the customer would observe Juneteenth.  I had to change my flights to arrive Sunday instead of Monday, and add an extra day to my stay.  As a result, I spent Wednesday preparing course materials for an upcoming class in August.  But it's with the Space Force In North Dakota!  Except.... I will be cross training a co-worker on it the week of July 4th, and if I think he's ready, he will go in place of me.  Dang the luck.  It's okay though, I travel and teach enough, he can go. 

         These classes are pretty easy to teach, I wrote this course years ago because we had nothing to use in delivering a short class like this.  I based on a course we deliver for another product which made it very easy to write.  It was nice too, delivering the class on Monday-Tuesday with Wednesday off, then Thursday-Friday.  I had a day of rest in the middle, and worked from my hotel room most of the day.  It was a pretty uneventful week too.

         Nothing much has changed on my schedule.  Other than going to Halifax (instead of St, John Newfoundland).  The customer changed the training site location, so I'm out of luck as far as going back to St, John.  It's okay, Halifax is beautiful.  I'm still scheduled to fly to Germany for a week in late August, and I have two more trips to LA, two to the Puget Sound Region, and another week in San Franscisco, plus other places I can't remember.  And, I'm still ready to either retire, or change jobs within Motorola.  So far, Retirement is winning that race.  Of course I found some nice places to dine at too.


         Noteworthy Restaurants:

         Judge Bean's BBQ          https://judgebeans.com/brentwood-judge-beans-bbq-food-menu          I was dining at a BBQ Restaurant, so why did I go Tex-Mex?  While it was very good, it was also very spicy.  Their Texas Sushi  (Jalapeno pepper stuffed with Sausage and Cheese wrapped in a brisket) was extra spicy and became part of my breakfast the next morning, mixed with scrambled eggs.  Plus, The Original Shrimp Diablo  (Jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and cheese then wrapped in bacon) was the same way.  Even their Cowboy Beans were spicy.  I definitely ordered wrong!  Very good food, but I should have stuck with BBQ.

         Del Frisco's Grille          https://www.delfriscosgrille.com/location/del-friscos-grille-brentwood-tn/#menus          A couple of my students joined me for dinner.  I've been here at least once before and loved it, so returning was a no-brainer.  I enjoyed their Pan Roasted Branzino, with Grain Salad, Olives, Shaved Almonds, Lemon, Shallots, Golden Raisins, Arugula, Romesco.  As it turned out, we all ordered Fish, each a different dish.


         That's it for now.  I flew from Nashville today, and am in Halifax tonight.  I have tomorrow to relax some before starting work in earnest Monday.  Until my next entry, write all you can, and love everyone, especially those special people who fill your life!
