the weather has been quite spectacular the last few days. it looks like fall is really scratching on the door now. and even though i spend most of my days in meetings and thus in rooms that do not necessarily have leaves falling and squirrels trolling on tables, it still feels great to be in new york at the end of september. we won an award last night at the marriott in a tiny room packed with some people who were old friends and some who were new friends and with some who had been buried in back rooms since 1999. the winner of the entire show was actually not too bad. Enjoyed the show quite a bit. (can I now get a paper towel please?) hmm... spectacular weather... time for at least a walk.
