So much to say, so little time…

Got home this afternoon from an astounding, amazing, colossal ABA convention. I was shocked how many people said they can’t wait to see what I write about it here! Thanks for your support, and for letting me know people actually read my inane rantings!

I do have plenty to talk about, and will do so over the next week or so. There are stories to tell, observations to make, experiences to relate, answers to questions asked at the convention, and much more. But it’s after midnight, and I’m several miles past exhausted, so it’ll have to wait for tomorrow.

But before heading off to bed, I have to express some undying thanks…first, to our hosts in Virginia Beach, and all of Virginia. No offense to Grapevine’s efforts, but this was head and shoulders above last year. From the opening celebration at the Cavalier Beach Club (loved the fireworks), to the hand-off to next year in Charlotte, NC, the VBCVB had it in the bag. Sure, there were some small things, but overall, an A+++ effort.

Next, to the ABA Staff, for all their hard work. Watching them at work (everyone with a clipboard and radio…everyone except Pete, that is!), dancing the coordination dance was fascinating. Lynn and Vicki, you are always impressive!

And to all my new old friends…there are so many stories to tell, from snakes and whale tails, to the Super Bowl, to that weird indian at the party the last night, thank you for sharing your hearts, your lives, your senses of humor, and your week with me, and for allowing me to share right back atcha! Kim, Danielle, Chris, Susan, Kelly, Judy, Bob, Marc, and far too many more to list right here right now (along with the usual suspects — Lois, Roni, Jim, Terri, and of course Emi)…what a week it was!!

Stand by for the stories…I hope to start working on them tomorrow. I think I’ll do it all in chronological order, so you’ll just have to wait until last for an explanation about those Village People! <grin>
