A few things learned and remembered in Phoenix:

1)  Tom Ward is smart.  Ridiculously smart.  No one in the room (8 people) came close to understanding his paper.  I might be able to get it with a hard copy, but even then.....

2)  I'm going to have to live up with a mispronounced college name the rest of my life.  A direct quote from the lady who introduced Tom:  "Thomas Ward has a Bachelor's degree from Bee-ola University."

3)  Pizookie is really, really rich.  If you have never had the rich, chocolate-chippity goodness (either from BJ's or, if in Phoenix, Oregano's) I highly recommend it.

4)  Connecting with good friends after a long absence is really, really refreshing.

5)  Connecting with good friends after a long absence is really, really difficult when you can't talk or breathe very well.
