On Thursday and Friday of this week we will be enjoying 90 degree weather and sunshine in San Jose, California. It will be quite the change from the dark and damp of NW Washington. This is also the first time I will have been on an airplane in almost 3 years. Yes, it really has been that long since the world decided to begin a pandemic. That said, I am excited for Postgres Conference Silicon Valley 2022 and in particular the following sessions:

• Digital Rights and Privacy: Concerns for the 21st century
• Scaling Beyond PgBouncer & Pgpool-II: Advanced Traffic Management
• Non-Relational Postgres

I also very much look forward to seeing long away friends, Bruce Momjian, Michael Meskes, Jim Mlodgenski and Alvaro Hernandez. See everyone there!
