A bit sluggish out of the gate this morning. Combination jet-lag, exhaustion, and maybe just a bit of a reaction to the A & W hamburger meals we picked up at the drive-thru, on the way home from the airport last night. Beef can be playful in a body with a weakened immune system...

I could also be sluggish this morning due to trying to clear up the hard drive of our PVR, filled to the gills with all the TV shows we recorded while away this past week. I didn’t realize we watched as much TV as we apparently do, or maybe this was just a one-time programming quirk – each and every program we watch over the course of a month happened to be on in the six days we were away??

I’ll summarize this Bombeck conference once I regain full mental capacity (careful…I DO read the comments posted here…), but for now, a cup of coffee is beginning to sound like practical medical advice.

What I can say is that even though we had talked about skipping a year of this event (which only runs every second year ANYWAY), once you get back from something that was as exceptional and rewarding as this workshop was, you already begin planning your next trip out…just to see how they can top what they pulled off this time around.

I just may need to get a pacemaker installed, before the 2010 instalment…

Chow for now!!

GO FLAMES!!!!!
