As the title would suggest, it is rather warm here in Phoenix. The company flew me down on Monday night to take part of some training meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. As it was my first business trip, I was pretty excited. I stayed in the Hilton Squaw Peak resort - a very nice hotel with it's very own "water park."

On to the heat - on the way to work this morning (at 8:00 AM), the car thermometer read 100 degrees - AT 8 IN THE MORNING. Last night I decided to take a dip in the hotel pool. Well, the pool water literally felt like hot tub water, and the hot tub water felt like you would be boiled alive if left unattended for too long. All things considered, I am convinced that we made the right choice in taking the job in Salt Lake instead of Phoenix.
