Well, we're *sniffle* on our way back to LA. Missing everyone already.

Deb, thank you so much for all of your work for this weekend. The food was great, the hotel was great, the organization was great, and the Sunday party was great (despite the unseasonable rain!). Thank you thank you thank you.

Everyone else? Just love you. My family.

Thanks for hosting today, Deb.

I am so fucking tired.

I am so fucking tired.

Well, see, that's how you know you were doing it right.

billytea! We saw lots of itty bitty animal skulls and thought of you.

Well, naturally.

I just got home.

I, also, am so fucking tired.

I am home, and very tired as well, which is why I am home, and not eating dinner with other people.

Also, when will my ears get unplugged?

When I tilt my head forward, the sound quality of everything gets distorted. It'd disconcerting.

Lest I further give the impression that I'm just a whiner, the flight was very smooth most all the time - as goog as a 3 1/2 hour flight in a 737 with every single seat filled (all of them coach) can be....

This has been my personal favorite f2f. My only regret was that there were a few people who I didn't attach a Buffista name to....

I didn't get to say goodbye to you either, Tommyrot.

BYE!

I hope your ears clear out soon.

Bye Perkins!

Bye everyone else!

(am now earwormed with "So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, good night.")

I also am wired as hell - I can never sleep immediatly after a day of travel. (In college, I once drove 20 hours straight (by myself) and then was so wired I joined friends at a bar. I drank a pitcher of beer myself, and I didn't notice any effect.)

Will pizza help me sleep? Nah - I'd have to stay up for a bit after eating the pizza.
