Good Mornin'!
This might be what is known as a lingering runner's high, but this is how I feel this morning.
The Contest
Stephen and I spent this last week at the Objectivist Conference ( OCON ) in Boston. We started out the week staying in town, but finished it off commuting. As we stayed at the Seaport Hotel at the beginning of the week when we knew almost no one, we didn’t take advantage of the social atmosphere, but were happily sequestered in our room.

Many props for having a daughter that loves Judy Garland... much better than Ms. Miley Cyrus!
