Day 3 of 4 of a professional conference

I should be writing up my notes from the last 2 days, but I've been on IM instead and generally feeling emotionally flayed from all the interacdtions and eye contact. So much has happened that I think I can only do the big overview and then I may be able to add stuff later, but if nothing else if you are interested in a particular thing, feel free to ask me to elaborate. Possibly even in person, if I ever come  out of hiding after I get back home.

• The childhood friends: all 3 in one place with me for a mini reunion that defies superlatives.


• Losing my internal sensor almost immediately upon arrival (primarily from that mini reunion)


• Marathon day at the conference, hitting later afternoon and experiencing this surreal state of cascading epiphanies and clarity.


• Writing the draft to an article I want to expand on describing the big deal stuff going on with work project(s). More to the point, having encouragement from Leader In Field suggest I write it


• Diving into twitter, gaining almost double the followers I had last week (36 to 61? It's odd)


• Getting a ton of support from a ton of people who are more convinced of my capacity than I am


• Lots and lots of good learning moments


• Rock n Roll hall of fame visit


• Visiting with jedipartner1967 (short short form: home from hospital, doing super well!!)


• The kid and his grandpa and the extended time together while the wimmin folk worked


• Looking forward to a low-key social on Sunday in the back yard


• Looks like Grace and Amy will be visiting me in Boston in November. That's going to be epic. Prep the bail money now.

OK. That'll have to do for now.
