Home from Cincinnati

A very long evening of travel last night. Left client site in Blue Ash around 5:15pm eastern time and got home just before midnight central time. It was partially self-inflicted because I flew American Airlines and had to connect through Chicago.

Cincinnati was warm...matter of fact near record breaking warm on Wednesday.

The biggest and most interesting story is finding evidence of other Alspaughs. The woman who set up my access to the client's wireless internet told me that my last name is the same as her mother's maiden name! That has never happened before. Her mother's name is Roberta and I don't know anyone on my dad's side of the family with that name.



Stayed at the Doubletree in Blue Ash which has a really large maccaw in the lobby. The picture is a bit blurry because he was swinging on his swing. This guy was not particularly friendly. He would have been pleased with himself if he could have gotten a piece of you.




The redbud trees were in bloom everywhere and so beautiful. The Cincinnati airport is actually in nothern Kentucky on the south side of the Ohio River. The drive from the airport to the city is quite lovely. Very hilly on the Kentucky side with the hillsides covered in trees with the redbuds splash of red and purple-pink.
