Friends,
It's been a busy week for me as this was my first taste of my new life on the road and first glimpse of the new job I'll be doing. I spent the last several days at a hardware trade show in Providence put on by one of our key distributor partners. It was a great learning experience for me. Though it was was frigid outside the whole week, I was fairly busy inside the RI Convention Center most of the time! As I found out when I talked to my dad this weekend, apparently I'm the first one in my family to ever set foot inside the state of Rhode Island, so that's kinda cool as there aren't too many places that my dad hasn't been!
The show wrapped up yesterday and this morning I flew to Charlotte, where I'll be for the next week or two. Meetings and final preparations for the new job will take up most of my time while I'm here. On my flight, we flew right over NYC and since it was a crystal clear day, I had an unbelievable view of Manhattan, Long Island, etc. It was pretty amazing, although it seemed eerily similar to the conditions on the morning of 9.11.01....
I've attached pictures of Providence as seen from my hotel room. We stayed downtown at the Westin, which was right next to "Federal Hill" where the state capital is. I wanted to include pictures because my parents were big fans of the show "Providence" a few years back, and they were very curious about the city and if it was as nice as the show depicted.
That's all for now. Hope everyone is well!
On the road,Matt
