The conference that's sucked up all my time since Sunday ended around mid-day and my head finally started to clear up around 3 p.m. After last night's dinner party I ended up down in the French Quarter until around 2:30 a.m. It was fun and all, but between the walking, dancing, alcohol and lack of sleep, I am pretty wasted today. I got this nice framed copy of the conference poster for being on the committee and all. I liked the watercolor poster with the image of one of the corners of Jackson Square, so I think this one will go on the wall in my office. The meeting was held at the old Fairmont hotel and although it lacked a few of the conveniences that more modern hotels have, I have to say that the food was great. Usually the food at these meetings is merely adequate, but here it was really excellent. Even the wine was OK! Much, much better than we get at the Hilton in D.C. for our big annual meeting. Next year's regional meeting will be in Miami Beach. In the past, I almost never went to the regional meetings, but if I can, I may try to make Miami next year.
I had been thinking about trying to make the training race today, but under the circumstances it's probably better that I skip it and get some sleep instead! Besides which I came here by car this morning and would have to make a mad dash through traffic back home and then out to the lakefront in order to get there in time. So I'll do tomorrow's morning ride.
