Best laid plans ...

OK, I seriously meant to write up something each day of the chapter meeting in October, but I was just so darn tired when I got home each night that I just couldn't work up much energy.  So mea culpa!

Quick updates on what happened:
 

1. My brother's talk went off without a hitch, and he yet again was impressed by giving a presentation to medical librarians.
2. The big dinner banquet at the meeting was fantastic!  Never had so much good food, and such a nice venue (Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field, among all the planes and other displays).
3. I was surprised by being awarded the SCC/MLA Librarian of the Year Award for 2008.  I feel truly honored, not just for being recognized like this (by a nomination) but also to be the 3rd recipient after Ethel Madden (New Orleans) and Ana Cleveland (University of North Texas, Denton).
4. The meeting concluded with no major problems, and everyone loved it.  Especially the dinner banquet.
