Ron wore his soccer dad cap adorned with pink sequence.  I loved it.  It
made it easy to make sure he showed up for my papers.

The opening session was a must see.  It only went 1/2 hour over what was
publicized and included Cirque De Sole'.  Nothing less than incredible!
Greg will have a hard time topping that (But I'm sure he will).  Keeping the
marketing topic to opening session and the technology for Monday morning
worked very well.

Well, since our most voluble poster from last year's SUGI got reamed by
grouchy readers for his personal interest in the business intelligence
side
of the conference, you may have to wait a while for someone to
volunteer.

And I hear that Ron's offical Big Purple Sombrero (tm) is so wide that
it got
stuck going through the metal detectors at the airport, so Ron may never
make
it out of Canada.  :-)
