![]() ![]() Business travel used to be a somewhat nerve-wracking experience for me, but acknowledging my own introverted tendencies has been a way to take back some of my own power in that regard. I consider myself more of a “practiced extrovert”. I very much enjoyed the CC meetup that some of us attended in Detroit almost exactly two years ago, but often, ease in these situations does not come innately to me. ![]() I’m personable, can make good conversation, and even approach strangers sometimes, as I just described. Many people suffer from some degree of social anxiety, and I self-identify as one of them. A little more on this super-cool truck in just a moment. They waved, smiled, and looked like they were in something of a hurry (for dinner reservations, perhaps?), so I quickly abandoned any thoughts of giving them a brief interview about their Elky. Almost instinctively, I started walking toward the vehicle as soon as I saw the couple get out of it. ![]() I liked that there was a big deal like this one happening at the time, as a kind of “landmark” for my memory banks.Īfter a satisfying meatloaf dinner with local friends at one of the nice gastropubs in the historic Old Market district, I decided to walk around with my camera, when this ’68 El Camino pulled into a parking spot close to a row of nearby storefronts. (Believe it.) I didn’t know about these sports events prior to booking this trip, and I’m not necessarily a sports fan, but I’m not at all anti-sports, either. During this trip, the College World Series (of baseball) was being held downtown at TD Ameritrade Park, which brought many tourists and energy into what is already a somewhat bustling, urban center. Twenty-Nineteen marks my ninth, consecutive year of spending time in that city, and each time, I’ve found something new to like or love about it. This past week found me back in the beautiful, American Midwestern city of Omaha, Nebraska for business travel. ![]()
