Nice drive home from Las Vegas today. I indulged in a risky behavior and yakked on the phone just about the whole way. Of course, it’s a headset. But it’s still stupid and dangerous and we all know it and yet sometimes, we do it anyway.

Every year, I meet a ton of people and reconnect with folks I met last time. And every year, I intend to write to each of you immediately upon my return to reality. And every year, I don’t get to it right away, or I lose someone’s card, or I got three cards from your booth and don’t know which one is yours because of all the new names in a pile of Scrabble tiles in my mind.

But I’m very glad to have met you, to have seen you in person if I already met you online, and to see you again if I already know you.

A special shout-out to strangers who approached me and bought my book — hope to see you in the forum soon.

Pics and anecdotes to follow.
