The Road to North Carolina...

So I'm finally starting to recover from my drive from the Washington, DC area to Cary, NC (I'm in town to speak at the Triangle .NET User Group this week). What would normally be a 4-5 hour trip (around 270 miles) took more than 7 hours, thanks in part to torrential downpours that strafed the east coast yesterday. I think it was some of the worst rain I've ever driven in, sometimes so bad that I was down to 20mph on the freeway, with my hazard lights on, praying that the rain would let up enough for me to see more than 2 or 3 car lengths ahead. Not a fun drive. Fortunately, my 7-week old son, Joseph, slept through most of the drive, other than when we stopped to feed him.

The weather this week is supposed to be much better, and I'm looking forward to spending some relaxing time in the Raleigh-Durham area (maybe even take in a Bulls game), and then talking about building server controls and giving away some free books, so things are definitely looking up.
