It's Good to Be Home

As good as it was to be back in Michigan for a few weeks, it's definitely nice to be back in LA, sitting at my own desk, about to sleep in my own bed.

The flights were uneventful. On the Detroit to LA leg I sat next to a guy who's running the Bentley exhibit at the Auto Show. He was cool; we talked some during the flight and then ended up giving him a ride to his hotel since it was right downtown. I need to get over to the Convention Center sometime to check out the show. I went a few years ago and enjoyed it, but haven't been back.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
