Between the lines
The boards are quieter today, must be that some have already taken off for the ABA conference in Washington. Have a great time--while the rest of us are here working away and wishing we were there.

I know some of you will be checking in on your "way kewl" toys while others will have to visit a vendor to keep up with us. Please do, because compliance problems march on even if you are out having fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Oh, be sure to have a few of those real drinks, not those virtual, umbrella thingees that are so popular most of the time. (Like I had to tell you that!!)

I'm here with y'all too! Family obligations this weekend prevented me from going this year, but I plan to try to go next year, especially since I have relatives in the Chicago area. It would also be great to go to a Cubs game if they are in town that week!

I'm making a list to be sure I have an Official Conference Drink for each of you left behind. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it...

You'd better have several for those of us left behind...
And then, a really mean hangover would be appropriate justice!

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
Actually, some of us are trying to get all the "goober" at least looking better, if not actually gone, so that we can leave with something of a clear conscience. I'll be your designated driver, Ellen.

So Dawnie, a Suzon from Alaska, I'll be looking for her...even if she doesn't tell us any stories, after being with us, she'll have a couple for you.
