This is part of the group I'm taking the class with.  They are all from other Triumph companies.  From left to right ... Me, Heather (AR), Janet (PA), Pam (PA), Diane (WA), Paula (NC).  I've been to corporate training classes before and this group has been the best.  That's the Tempe/Phoenix area in the background.

Today after class we went to a restaurant called Claim Jumper - it's a chain in this area, but hasn't reached the East coast as yet.  The food was great - comfort foods like Chicken Pot pies, meatloaf.  They also had huge and I mean huge deserts.  After dinner we walked across the parking lot to the Arizona Mills Outlet Mall - we only walked about 1/4 of it.  Wish we had more time.  Quite a few bargain to be had, but I didn't find anything I had to have.

Today I'm in a Phoenix hotel.  I asked if the ice cream would stay frozen in the hotel room mini fridge.  The waitress asked the restaurant manager, who called the hotel engineer, who said if I turned the fridge to it's coldest setting it would be just fine.  I thought it was funny they got the engineer involved in such a decision.  We'll see tomorrow if it kept frozen.

Welcome to Phoenix.  Arrived in Phoenix today for a week long course.  Started the day with a dead battery on the car, then 45 minute delay before boarding, then 20 minuted delay on the tarmac because of a luggage snaffu, then got to the hotel at 10:02P and the restaurant/room service had closed at 10P.  Thankfully, since so many people were arriving late they agreed to keep it open until 10:30.

What I call "Snack Crack".  When we were in Daytona our friend Fred had some peanut butter pretzels that were as addicting as all get out.  While shopping at Walmart today, I found them.  Not sure if it's the exact manufacturer of the ones Fred had, but they still have that addicting taste.

My new picture for my wall at work.  Love the saying and it even has an airplane on it.  Interestingly, it is the first bit of personal stuff I've put in my office.

I think I had about 25 tickets that I had received over Christmas.  Even with that many, I only won $5.00.  Still love the thrill of scratching them off.

Dinner at Canton Restaurant.  They've been in business for over 25 years, and this is their famous Canton Steak.  This is the Junior portion -- it's enough for two.  Broiled prime sirloin steak, mothered in sauce and served on a bed of vegetables.  It comes to the table sizzling. Mmmmm ... this means leftovers.

A rare event in So. Florida.  This is the temperature outside work tonight.  It shows 36 degrees.  It's expected to drop lower during the night.  It's been many years since we've had temps this low for winter.

This is Marjorie.  She is curled up on the sofa on a blanket and flannel shirt.  It's her "spot" to keep warm.
