Back in the Saddle

Why is digging out of email after being away at a conference so hard? It takes just as much time to dig out as you were gone, maybe even more. This info management is a drag.

The conference was fantastic: learned lots, met new people, enjoyed beautiful scenery and food. Now it's taking action on that learning and new contacts to move the enterprise forward.

On the gardening front, my mom took me to an appointment with a guy who's clearing out all of his plants. He used to be in the nursery business, but has progressive AIDS. His backyard was amazing--completely covered with all sorts of plants. I bought some sea pinks, Korean rock fern, and some other stuff (I don't have the exact names on the tip of my tongue, but will detail later).

In a holding pattern on the body transformation front, but did pretty well at the conference, including a high-altitude walk and some swimming.
