Not catching up yet!

Back from NECC and it was a fabulous conference as always. This was my 2nd time to attend and this time I presented with a colleague. I highly recommend attending and/or presenting at the poster sessions. Very productive and lots of varied interaction -- not near as much pressure as preparing for a "class-like" setting. Stayed 4 days in DC for vacation which was amazing (weather was unseasonably mild and comfy) so I'm still reacclimating to real-life. Have jumped into trying to learn Picasa to share/keep photos and videos and tried to add the Shelfari bookshelf to this blog but it looks un-centered. Will try again tomorrow and will pick up on Thing #8! I've cruised through several blogs and the work you all have been doing is very impressive.
