Our training day started on time – no mean feat, since the trainer had to set up a router with a bunch of notebook computers in the room given to us, and also fretted she did not have enough printed binders – but it all worked out in the end. At the end of the day at 5 pm, I decided to stick around a little before attempting to drive up to Walnut creek on Interstate 680. It paid off : traffic was moving nicely by the time I headed north.
This is early in the morning, and a view of the Plaza de Cesar Chavez in downtown San Jose, from the 26th floor of the San Jose Marriott. And who was Cesar Chavez ? Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) was an American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.I drove by the SAP Center this morning .. an indoor arena for which the primary tenant is the San Jose Sharks (a team in the National Hokey League). I had to look it up .. thought it was a training center or conference center !
