You bought me enough dinners in New Orleans to last a lifetime. They say you can't eat a bad meal in New Orleans and I can't disagree with that.

To all, if you get a chance to hang out with John, take it. He is much more easy going in person than he comes across here ;-)

Re DevCon, I was advised beforehand that it was important to get a good nap every night. And that was about the size of it. One of my best memories of San Diego was hanging out in the lobby at the Marriott at about 3 a.m. with a bunch of fellow attendees. We had possibly been overserved, although not outrageously so. Ceil Rosenfeld, as she was known at the time, sailed into the lobby. "The chicks are here!" I said. She thought that was the funniest thing she had ever heard in her life. RIP, Ceil.
