On the Road Again ...

I am at a conference. Here.  At the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.  This place is HUGE.  As in 50 indoor acres huge.

Right now I'm on my lunch break and Mr. Peculiar (who came with me -- thanks Grandma and Grandpa) is out galavanting.

Thus far I have learned a few things unrelated to veterinary medicine and I thought I'd share them with you.

• Our room rests at the intersection of the red and green carpets.  If you're on brown carpet you've gone too far.  Double back.  Run if necessary. 
• If you want to sit on the patio of a restaurant inside this massive unit ask for a patio seat; technically the patio is not outdoors. 
• I like wearing knee high leather boots and v-neck cashmere sweaters and long gray skirts.
• I especially like wearing the above because they are thrifted.
• I ought not stay here too long or I might come home with a drawl.
• There are not enough hallway seats outside the conference hall.
• One can sit on the floor in a skirt.
• The line for a free lunch is inappropriately long.
• A smoothie and walk are an excellent substitute.
• When using your computer in a public place mute the sound, preferably before the loud ad pops up on your screen.
• I like taking notes on my computer.
• I wouldn't mind being a student again.

And now off to my next class -- "It's for the birds!  Clinical ER Cases in Avian Medicine."  I need to boogie -- it's a long walk back.  

xo.
