Michael Hayden's address on Saturday was incredible - it was the 9:00 AM research keynote. He got a prolonged standing O. The Friday keynote at 10:30 by Mark Holder on the Science of Happiness was thought provoking and very funny. Both would be worth watching.

I saw Matt Ellison from the UK at the conference and sat next to Steve I at the wrapup gala dinner. I just finished a 7.5 hour drive back, so I'll hold off on some other thoughts until tomorrow.

Will, wow, i'm so glad you made it, I wondered if you would be going. I had such a great time at the world convention when it was here, and hanging out with you and jimmy and michelle and matty. But, I love that the speeches are on video. I watched Michael hayden's speech, and just loved it. That man inspires me every time
