Pummeled with work, I did not get down to the conference right away this morning. And no, it wasn’t for any of the reasons you might be thinking. I was in early last night - at least for New York. I did hear that some people were out til 5am though. That’s far too much […]

Better Late Than Never

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

A glitch, 7 hours on standby and I end up flying from Mpls to NYC a day late. Oh well, better late than never. I will miss some premium sessions and several meetings and interviews I’ve been very much looking forward to, but Wed-Fri I’ll be doing my thing in full force.
