No NFJS for me... - No Fluff Just Stuff

No NFJS for me...

Posted by: Craig Walls on November 3, 2005

I was supposed to be speaking at NFJS this weekend in Dallas, but...

Unfortunately, my wife has been in the hospital for a few days. It's nothing too serious and she's doing a lot better, but she'll be off of her feet for a few days and she's going to need some help wrangling our 10.5 month old daughter. So, I had to tell Jay that I had to bow out.

Jay tells me that he's arranged for Keith Donald to fly in and fill in for me. I've never heard Keith speak, but I know that he knows his stuff. I'm actually a bit bummed that I can't be there because I'd love to hear Keith's presentations. (But if I was there then there'd be no reason for Keith to be there.)

I guess that I'll just have to wait until next month when both Keith and I are speaking at The Spring Experience.
