I'm home from my trip to Nashville. (Can anyone identify to what my title for this note is referring?)
The visit with Dale went well, I thought. We were able to meet without difficulty and spent a pleasant lunch discussing church, computing, careers, and family. I'm still keeping him in my prayers as his job search continues.
The conference itself was overwhelming, as always. I'll try to post some messages over the next few days reviewing some of the people I saw and met (I'll want to research appropriate links for them since urls were not standard pieces of information given out from stage or in conversation, though I might have some on CDs or other promotional material).
I don't know that I'll go the next couple of years when the conference will be in San Diego and Montreal. However, I might try taking in the Northeast or Southwest conferences, both of which I've heard good things about.
More later.
