600 miles later.

I left work Friday at 5pm. I shot up to the web guys place right quick to go over logo ideas for Inverted Journey. It is looking pretty sharp. A logo speaks volumes about your brand…it IS the brand in a way. What color palette should you use? What font? Any picture content at all? Spacing between letters? Two words side by side or stacked? The options are endless but I think we hit our stride.

A quick stop in Boston Friday night and I was off to Vermont for the New England Aerobatic Contest. Guess who else showed up? Mother Nature! In all her rainy, cloudy glory. Saturday was a total wash. I meandered around for a bit recognizing some faces and trying to insert my own link into chains of friendship tempered over many years of friendly competition.

Confession: I am the king of awkward moments. I’m horrible at trying to “network” or meet people even in the best of settings. I fumble. I mumble. Some would argue I grumble. Any way you slice it, I assume the moron hat in these situations.

I did meet some folks though and should be seeing them all again at the Kathy Jaffe Challenge in early August. I didn’t come away from the NEAC with a whole lot of new insights into anything. I’m glad I went of course.

I think that will be last contest as a spectator. There is a practice session at Keene, NH coming up on July 24th that I am hoping to get to. The flyable days are few and far between this week. With fingers and toes crossed I’m hoping for some serious time in the air these next two weeks.
