For all of you who think that there aren't really seasons in California, here's some fall light, seen from our living room balcony. One of our living room balconies. So, all you NAVSA peeps - get ready to enjoy, in ten days time. The program proofs arrived today! We kept calm today through what looked to be a mega crisis - how could we suddenly be 6K over budget? (a moment of hysteria followed by bafflement that the hotel were suddenly charging us 6K for fruit. That's a lot of expensive apples. Item removed - it should never have been there. Hmmmm). We may be able to pay our bills! Memo to all friends: never, ever run a conference in a hotel, if you can help it. We knew that they would be scalping us down to every last plastic water bottle, but it's kind of hard hosting 500 people in mid semester unless there's a convention centre to hand, and the Los Angeles one of those is rather too large. We'll get there. Meantime, we'll calm ourselves by staring at the view ...
