This week's thanks

This week I'm thankful for a geeky but stellar conference for work, and that I didn't flub any of my slides.

I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to travel to DC, to meet some incredible people, and to share ideas and best practices. (Yes, folks - days like this make me feel less alone in my geeky-glory!)

I'm thankful a delicious tapas dinner and for stumbling across a farmers market when I needed a snack to tide me over until I could get to tapas.

I'm thankful for the incredible works of art in the Smithsonian American Art museum... Unfortunately the docents threatened to tackle me if I tried to take photos of the art.

(Ok... that last bit is a stretch, but it sounds much more interesting than admitting that I followed the "no photos" signs in the galleries!) Fortunately photography is allowed in the spectacular indoor courtyard.

I'd also like to thank (again) the Capitol Hill Runners for a great Thursday morning run.

What are you thankful for this week?
