>>>By the end of the year I'll probably have a total of about 25 community sessions, 8 conference sessions, 4 or 5 webcasts, and either 3 or 4 CoDe articles. That is roughly the same volume I do every year, more or less.

That's sessions - keep in mind that at some community events I might do two sessions in one afternoon or evening. Last week in South Jersey I did 2 sessions for a User Group (the group normally has an early evening speaker and then a speaker for later in the evening, but their early speaker cancelled so I did two sessions). Sometimes at SQL Saturday events I'll do two.

So in any given month I'm probably travelling one or two times.

Yes, it's a commitment, and it can be hard on the home front. So thanks...(I think?)
