Well, I knew it was going to be a busy week, but I didn’t realize exactly how busy. I barely got around to checking my e-mail some days. The conference was a big success, and my presentation seemed to be well-received (I haven’t looked at the speaker evaluations yet, maybe in a few days).
The big let-down was Memphis itself. I can’t say I enjoyed the town all that much. The famous Beale Street seemed like a low-rent, bad copy of Bourbon Street, minus the charm and nice architecture of the French Quarter, and the rest of the city was not all that appealing.
I did have a nice view of the Mississippi from my hotel window, though.
