And just like that it's over

The last day of the conference was good, great even. There were two really fantastic work shops I can't wait to incorporate into my classes. I already sent Dad to Lowes for the dowel rods I'll need. Those who saw me hobbling around yesterday checked in with me today. Sometimes I forget what it's like to have supportive colleagues.

Everything is packed. I had planned to do something tomorrow but a) I'm tired b) everything in St Louis seems to close at 4 pm....and the two things I want to do aren't open until 10 or 11 so that's way later than I'd want to get started as it's 7 hours 15 minutes without stops or construction so yeah, I'll just get on the road. My reward for giving up on tourism is sleeping in a bit tomorrow.

I know a lot of HAPSters left today and the poor hotel staff were still on my floor cleaning rooms when I got in at 530. I said look I'm leaving tomorrow, just skip me after you hand me over a face towel and we'll call it even. They were very happy with that.

Still no book report for wednesday. I haven't finished squat and I don't think I reviewed anything I did read this month. Should be fun in June playing catch up.

Hopefully I'll have a quiet trip home.
