I arrive (if Air Canada cooperates with my vision of when I arrive) at 1:37 pm on Wednesday, November 11th. I'm up for sharing a cab if there are any early-afternooners out there looking for a travel buddy.

So aware, in this moment, sitting at my computer in my office - clock ticking, inbox bursting, to-do list taunting - how challenging/intriging/tearing it is to step back into the real world (whatever the hell that means) after a few days of AIN playfulness.

AoM in Management and Business School parlance means the Academy of Management conference - it was in Chicago last week... It is the biggest and arguably the most prestigious Management conference - usually about 12000 delegates...
Thanks for the welcome note...
