Summer in the City
My June travels continue this week. I arrived in NYC yesterday afternoon and will be here through Thursday for our annual media and analyst event. This year we moved from The Palace to the Waldorf=Astoria (yes the equal’s sign is in their official name). The meeting space is much nicer, but the Palace was a…

I flew down to Orlando, FL yesterday morning. It was not a fun flight, especially on the descent with the plane hitting several areas of turbulence.

Summer schedule

Update to Home Media System
