Tomorrow I leave for Denver for the AAG Annual Meeting, and I am both very nervous and excited. I have some secret aspirations and some secret fears, and hopefully it all goes smoothly.

I am bringing my first printing of the “Star of the Middle East #2” and someone at the meeting will be taking home a very special prize. The idea is for people to drop off their business cards and have a raffle for the print at the end of the meeting. I think the raffle is an interesting approach to find out who is coming to the meeting and more importantly, seeing the various careers represented. I really hope the winner displays his/her prize in a prominent location! More importantly, I just hope the meeting runs smoothly…..Rockies here I come!
