DeeKnow’s Grotto

Through some miracle of divine-like intervention I somehow made it to my connecting flight from Fort Lauderdale to LAX on Friday night and on to the homeward flight to NZ arriving Sunday morning (more on that drama in due course)

Am actually bloody glad to be home. The conference turned out to be excellent value and was taxing enough on the poor old cranium contents, but the really tiring aspect of the week was really the unceasing tide of social activities and the workout my poor liver got over the last 10-days.

I dont know what I was expecting but it wasnt excaclty drinking marathons each night. All the party pushers [you know who you are] who were organising outings were justifying the activity as "networking" and it really was outstanding fun, but I actually found myself starting to make excuses (like having to do laundry, or needing to see a man about a dog) to get out of the extra-curricular pursuits. Those avoidence efforts turned out to be fruitless.

Who'd have thought work could be so much fun :-)
