Our project’s final testing 
sessions (with the business users), were scheduled to start early Monday morning. It’s a choreographed affair, and part sales talk (this is what is great about your new solution) and part technical talk (this is what you need to test and try to break). So I took a Sunday night flight out, picked up a rental car at SFO and drove out to the east side of the Bay. My regular hotel in Walnut Creek was sold out, and so I had to use Google Maps to find my hotel in Pleasanton (which reminds me of the fictitious 1950s town called Pleasantville from the 1998 move with the same name).
