Home Safe

Arrived home at 2 am after a 21 hour day, exhausted but happy. Report on epic weekend at IMMoo to follow as soon as possible - but first real life stuff like work needs to be attended to.

Aside from some technical problems (Madison appears to be a twilight zone where NONE of the batteries on any of my crucial travel related electronic devices - phone, laptop or camera - will hold a charge!) and moderate pregnancy-related aches and pains, I had a great time. I renewed my love for the sport and reconfirmed for myself that yes, I really do want to do this crazy thing.

Cool! I think you were posting while I was trying to get my cooliris preview pane to STAY PUT! Glad you had a great day! So did I! I have to drop you an email though because only you would understand the white-trash nightmare I am currently caught up in. Have mercy. It looks like you had a great time in MAD TOWN! I am SOOOOO HAPPY THAT YOU WENT!!!!!

Siren, what a pleasure to have some time to get to know you live and in person.

We had a hitch in our getalong last night, or I'd have emerged from the basement of the building and told you so myself!!

So great meeting you in person, Siren! And, I second what Steve said. Possibly single greatest day of my life.

Welcome home, sweets!! I owe you a call, but the cellie has been down since around Toledo since brainchild here left my only charger in the hotel room. It meant so much to get a chance to meet you and feel your support all through the weekend. I had many dreams of a different result on the day, but I can still say it was an incredible experience, no small part due to you and the rest of the great bloggers out there cheering. Love You!
