FGS was great this year with lots of interesting presentations and enjoyable activities, but I'm sure you'd like to hear about the funnier events of the past week. Let's begin with the never ending drive. I-69 was backed up, IN-5 had construction along with every other highway we took, all leading to a longer drive to Springfield, in which we arrived an hour late, but we did discover Fickle, IN. Who else can say the same? Later that evening we took the very long route to dinner while Curt tried to navigate from memory, so two memorable car rides in one day. I saw many friends and acquaintances throughout the conference and shared some funny moments, like Tony B regaling Steve and I with his recent adventures. We were in stitches for hours. Or my adventure to Coldstone with Amy, where the server offered up regular size conconctions as test subjects before we ever ordered our desert. And I was rather annoyed to receive this bill for my drink one night. Do you see what might have annoyed me here? And I was impressed that Steve and Kris still have stomach linings following their experience with the horseshoe, which is the equivalent of a heart attack on a plate. And finally I have to thank my social coordinator, Dawne, who arranged several of my social activities directly and indirectly. Looking forward to next year's conference.

It was great spending some time with you last week! Yeah, that was definitely the scenic route to dinner on Tuesday. (And I need to remember to check the weather forecast before heading outside! Thanks for sharing your umbrella.) As for the drink -- WTH?! That's definitely a new one on me.
They charged you for ice?!? Being the only place to eat downtown after 6 pm has given them an inflated sense of worth.

You're drinking for me right?
