[...] I’m saving the best for last. Vivian Paige is my new best friend. She is smart, funny, outspoken, and was the brightest light in a room full of shining people. She wrote her impressions of the conference and followed up a few days later with a discourse on ethics and journalism. In the middle of all this trenchant analysis, she also wrote a Father’s Day tribute to her own Dad that had me blubbering like a baby. If you ever get a chance to spend time with Vivian, do it!

I am late again, as usual. If I didn't work in the gardens, there wouldn't be any homemade V8 juice, or salsa, or pizza sauce, etc. I'll send some pictures one of these days. It's hard to fit it all in. I am especially working for that vacation starting July first in NC. Waldo is right. You are a trip. I want to continue our discussions that we started at the Biltmore last Friday night. Important stuff that I need a better perspective on. Blog-O-Rama

In case it wasn’t evident I had a great time. You’re right – perhaps the HR bloggers can get together and do something & invite all you guys.

Vivian, you’re a trip. I’m awfully glad you came. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to wait a year to see you again. Y’all got to hold an informal blogger gathering for Hampton Roads area bloggers, and some of us from the rest of the state can come visit. (As J.R. suggested about a month ago.) I’ll bring cole slaw.

Heh, no reason you would’ve seen it: I’ve been going over the attendees’ blogs like a fungus tonight (ugh! Where the heck do I get such unpleasant metaphors?) because I’m still hyped. Oh, and I fixed my error with the VAB/Norfolk misplacement.

See? My memory isn’t that good!

Hey, Vivian – glad you got home safely, even if not as conveniently as you wanted. Me, I’m very much the Point “A” – Point “B” … Get the heck outta my way! type driver (Well, not that bad… but close )

I’ve got my first post up – kinda long and who-I-met driven, but I’m planning on doing one or two more, um, thoughtful posts tomorrow or later in the week.

Here’s the link

And I wanted to say again that it was great to meet you – next time my Beloved Hubby is in Norfolk on business, I’ll have to see if we can do lunch or something!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Vivian!
