Farewell From Green Bay

This has been an exciting conference. The keynote speaker, David Maraniss, was interesting and inspiring as usual. The session offered covered a wide range of topics and there was a great opportunity to meet with my fellow Project Play Classmates. And yes that was the Bookrat with the sampler of beer at the Titletown Brewery. It was so cute that all the little glasses of beer arrived on a little flatbed railroad car (the wheels actually rolled, too!). Due to scheduling conflicts the Bookrat found herself with some time on her hands and decided to have lunch at Lambeau Field. It was an incredible experience for a Packer fan such as the B-rat. This has been a liftetime goal and to finally visit the home of the Packers and to run out of the players" tunnel on to the field with the crowd cheering (Yeah, they play some canned crowd noise and so what if it was cheesy, it was also wonderful!) was awesome. And due to excellent timing some young men who were delivering leftover desserts from some corporate event to staff, gave our little group cookies (football player sized) and sodas. Just for being there! The whole tour and lunch only took a few hours out of the day and the Bookrat was back on time for the next meeting on the schedule. It was a most excellent day and a most excellent conference!
The B-rat will be heading back to DeForest this morning and will see later today, just how high the pile of stuff is on her desk! (In case you hadn't noticed, the color scheme the Bookrat uses includes green and gold, so this Packer mania should come as no surprise to the observant.) Until the next time, adieu!
