Apologies for the hijack.

I can say that both you and Steve were missed, at least by me. You were there is spirit with the virtual discussion (oh yeah, I see you were civil to my boss, even though he has the
exact same opinion about that particular play--haruph!). Of course we took care of the First State's "little" contingent.
As I was talking a
hot shower every morning, I really didn't miss the Biltmore.
The facility did work out nicely, accommodating the 470+ in attendance. My only issue was that some of the social/networking activities were diminished due to attendees staying at different hotels.
