Denver Anyone

Hello everyone,
It doesn't seem like it has been a year, but here we are just a couple of weeks away from the National Conference in Denver. Last year we got started on this Blog and it doesn't seem that anyone is paying much attention. Please let us know if you are coming to Denver by leaving a comment.

Record Management in the Information Age

I just finished teaching a class for the National APA conference entitled, “Record Management in the Information Age”. The class was great! It potentially is a very dry subject, and I admit to being a bit nervous that the audience would be barely engaged and that perhaps half of them would be asleep before the first break. I was pleasantly surprised! What a great group of people!

We had a lot of fun interacting. They let me talk about the things I love and am passionate about (blogging, redundancy, automatic backups, driving the bus) and in turn they interacted a lot. There were so many positive comments and questions from the group, it certainly made teaching the class a lot of fun.

I thought it was interesting that during the break people were mostly fascinated with the staff terminations that we have done over the past couple of years, and most of those talking to me asked if I would “visit” their staff and make the “appropriate adjustments”. Heheh…nice try. You have to do your own dirty work I’m afraid.

It was encouraging to see this group striving to a higher level of education. I was encouraged because ultimately, the better they are at their job will result in fewer barriers between those that do not know Christ and the gospel message that they so desperately need to hear.

I had a great time in Sacramento, I hope that I will be invited to speak to the group in the future.

Grace and peace,

APA Rivercats Outting


Friday night 30 of us went to see the Rivercats baseball game (Minor league - Triple A of the Oakland A's). After a wonderful bbq dinner and a free hat after entering the game we watched a rather relaxed game. Two major league players were doing a rehab assignment. It was also dog night so people brought their pets and there was a pet costume contest. A good time was had by all. On the walk back we had a beautiful view of the California State Capital building. We miss everyone being here and hope that you can all go to Denver next year.
