Streets of Balmer
I didn't see much of Baltimore outside the conference and my hotel. I was a poster judge, a session convenor, and also gave a short presentation on which a number of nice people gave me positive feedback. I stayed in the hotel and worked on school stuff instead of traipsing around. It was strangely warm there -- probably about 20 degrees, with humidity (ugh). I had some wicked tamales and walked around Little Italy.
I try to be social at conference, but it wears me out a little. I met some very nice people with whom I was having a good conversation, and then I went and made a joke about buying some "souvenir Baltimore crack" (because of The Wire) and no one thought it was anywhere near as funny as I do.
11 hours to get home! I am still kind of wiped out.

Allison, I know how you feel, it is wearing to be social. When we interview I am exhausted from being "on"
"and Baltimore crack'
Awkward silence.
Allison scuttles away and does not speak to anyone again.
Well, it was more like we all just focused on our lunch.
Sociability is hard work.
Yes, by the time I am home, I don't feel like I can be sociable anymore.
As Richard has pointed out on occasion.
I second the "ugh" in regards to humidity
