I woke up late Monday morning, after a long flight in from Reno, Nevada on Sunday night, thinking that I might have dreamt the last four days of my life. The smokey haze of the casino and constant ‘Ding Ding Ding’ of the slot machines has left me in a weird state. For the most part, the trip went well. The presentation went off without a hitch and we had 30 people in attendance which was a remarkable amount if you ask me ;). On the flip side of that, the mauve velvet bedspreads and room of mirrors that Grace, Katherine and I stayed in left much to be desired. I had Katherine photograph the railyard and scrap metal pile outside of our room … just in case any of us had any thoughts of ever returning to Reno again! For now, we have Burlington, Vermont to look forward to for next year’s AAA conference. In the meantime, I’ve got a few papers to get together.

If I’ve learned anything about casino towns it’s that no matter how much you win, you always leave with empty pockets.

And … a side note … who knew I was playing in Reno this weekend?
