I had a thought earlier today. I thought, "This would make a wonderful, witty anecdote for my blog." Then I promptly forgot said anecdote. Sorry, y'all. Somehow we'll soldier on.
Skipping the first session today felt good. None of the paper topics interested me, and having a leisurely morning was a good choice, especially since I have a lot of work to make up tomorrow. The session I did attend was excellent. Two papers on Shakespeare and one on Restoration comedy, so a little more in my wheelhouse than papers on Vesalius or patents.
Then I hopped slightly further downtown and met a group of Moody/Barakel people. They brought me a delightful birthday cupcake and brightened my day. I miss them. Hopefully we'll see one another again in April when I head back to Chicago again.
I escaped Chicago in late afternoon and found my way back to Milwaukee where I spent an evening with friends, laughing and playing games. Solid ending to a solid conference and a great beginning for a new year of living. Thanks to all for your birthday greetings!
