I am in Dallas to attend the Deltek Insight 2018 Conference for work. Here is where I get to engage with other Deltek contacts and users so I can get perspectives on how other organizations use their software and deal with any issues that they may have. I also get a heads up on any planned future changes to the software. It was a good few days.
That’s pretty much all I can post about the conference itself – it gets pretty technical. The conference was held at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, so there are a number of photo ops there. It is not as large or as grand as the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, but still it was pretty neat.
The Gaylord Texan in Grapevine
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – at the Gaylord Texan!
The beautiful buildings in downtown Dallas are part of the reason I love Dallas and Texas. When I lived here for 3+ years in the mid-1980s, I spent a lot of time downtown, mostly on weekends. My office on N. Akard Street is long gone, replaced by a more modern, taller building. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of “my city”!

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. President Kennedy was riding in an open limousine through the streets of downtown Dallas in front of a large, cheering crowd. Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository on Elm Street. The president was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital.
Wow! This museum was far more incredible than I imagined. This is the best of the presidential libraries that I have visited. There are so many pictures, videos, great stories, and the 9-11 exhibits were powerful and poignant, and so much more!
