Well things are getting back to normal around here. The baby Girl is sleeping half way through the night now. I decided to get up early to watch the sun rise on a cool October morning. It has been a while since I have done this, so I decided that today was the day. I grabbed my computer and a pudding and headed to the back porch. Here is what happened:
I was a clear night last night so I was expecting a clear morning, but low hanging clouds muted the morning sounds. We can hear trains passing about two miles away, which reminds me of my childhood as we heard the same trains in my old neighborhood. The birds have started to chirp as the sun begins it daily journey across the sky. The clouds are turning their burnt orange glow that they get during sunrise.
I got the dogs up to come out with me, but ever since the doggy door was installed, black and red come out, do their thing and hop back in doors where it is warm and cozy. Traitors.
I sit and blog and think of all the things I need to do today. vaccuum the house, take out the garbage, cook breakfast, entertain the baby girl, get packed for my trip, clean the kitchen, it never ends. That is why I enjoy these quite moments in the morning where I can sit, think, and write.
Two passions in my work life came to light this past week. Helping others succeed and Virtual Team Efficiencies. Dell now has a way to start blogs and team sites. I am going to start a Networking Blog to help others at Dell learn the importance of networking and hopefully be able to achieve their goals while at Dell.
It is going to be a long week this week, but I know that Carrie, Beth and I will get through it.
Now where is that cup of coffee.

Speaking of coffee… Does Coffee Exchange sell green coffee beans? If not, would you happen to know where I could get some?
To make it slightly less OT and weird… I’m moving to Austin from Montreal and I want to involve myself in Austin’s coffee scene. Not as an entrepreneur but as a passionate coffee lover. Since your LinkedIn profile is one of few references I saw to Coffee Exchange (which, itself, was one of very few references to green coffee beans in Austin), I thought I would ask.
I get the impression that you’ve moved on from Coffee Exchange and that Dell now takes most of your time. But contacting fellow bloggers is, in itself, quite fun.
Cheers!

Well We shut down the Austin Coffee Exchange earlier this year. I can give you some places that sells green if you would like.
