[Libertina]

Thanks Freethehostages... wish the one with Terry McCauliffe hugging me and Diotima could have looked better. I blame it all on McAwful though, he squeezed me too hard and made my cheeck swell. ;)

No, it's this CPAC lighting, I tell you, it makes me look overweight!

It was great meeting you and working with you, Libertina. (I was going to call you "Lib" but thought better of it!)

Also, thanks for setting up the 'puter threads. It was our link to the outside world when the news became serious.

I just go a call from the ACU (Peter Roach??) who asked me if I enjoyed the conference and what suggestion I had to improve it. I told him that TV monitors in the co-sponsor room (is that what that room is called?) would be appreciated - both for breaking news and also to tune into whomever is speaking in the main ballroom. A couple of years ago, they had monitors and you could see the debates, speakers, etc., but for some reason they were removed. He said he would pass my request along.

Glad you got home safely, but how come 24 hours???
