This year, I’ve extended my NCDD experience by a week. I’m taking an extra 7 days to drive home from Austin, TX to St. Paul, MN. The direct route would be about 1,100 miles – but, I don’t plan to take the direct route. I’m hoping to use this time, to reflect on what I learned at the conference, where I’m at today, and my plans for the future. I’ll be sharing some of these reflection in my blog and on Twitter. This morning, I’m in Lake Charles, Louisiana soon to be on my way to Vicksburg, Mississippi.
