So uh… I’ve been home for a few weeks now, but only just got through photos from October. Which I suppose isn’t too surprising given my October.

Anyway.

I was away from home almost a month in a vacation followed by a trip within a trip that became more complicated due to my dad passing away, and then came home and got to leave again right away. But it had a lot of really nice moments in it, as well.

Started out the trip in late September with a trip to Northern Arizona for vacation. It’s really pretty up there.

Then it was an emergency recall back to Phoenix, followed by hospitals and logistics. But I got a chance to catch up with some people, as well.

It was off to San Francisco for a week in the middle of it all, for the Koa Club (Salesforce’s 10+ year employees group) celebration and also some face time with the teams.

Salesforce… really knows how to throw a party. The gala at City Hall was perhaps the fanciest and most well-provisioned party I have ever attended. There was an entire tuna that was being sashimi’d:

And the next day we took over the ballpark for a bunch of activities and volunteering:

After that it was back to Phoenix for a week, then home for about 12 hours before leaving again to Ohio for a combination anniversary/birthday party.

Photos from my crazy October are all at photos.
