Sounds like your conference or workshop was cool -- great speakers. Were they interesting? The sun is casting a golden glow on the trees around the square -- when I drove home last night from the grocery store, the setting sun made everything sparkle. We've been eating lunches outside under an umbrella at work. Okay, off to the courthouse.
