What I hear: Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died

Just a little study break.
So there is this company called Business Objects and they make tools and environments for computer programming... if you don't understand that, it's not the important part of the story...
My dad is in charge of choosing that stuff for his company (Allstate Insurance) and BO is the one he likes the best, anyway every year they have a big users conference in different cities each year. This year it is in Phoenix. That's where my dad is now. This year they asked him to do a presentation about how his company uses it and different things that he has found he can do with the programs. This is a cool thing, because he gets to speak in front of the top systems managers and computer programmers in the country and teach them things. My dad is so smart. Anyway... this is a good chance for some premo networking with folks. Definately a good thing for his career. He is presenting in like 20 minutes from now...
Also, he won 5 bucks in the poker game that they had last night... he was the big winner in the nickel ante game. Not bad... i remember those days myself... maybe someday he'll want to play with the big boys....
ok back to workin'
