De Paul Wrap-Up

Wire wound up the evening at Metro: astonishing

I hope to post Rick's incredible response to my talk, and my response to Rick, online soon, along with my presentation and some more notes about the Q&A. That was very close a day of total joy and we all left the conference feeling more than happy with what had happened.

It's hard to describe the goodness of the group dynamic there. People were aware of one another's schtick like long term participants in group or AA: there was some kind of nonconfrontation, enlightened humor and sense of difference. Great group. I'm convinced this reflects very well on the faculty, and there appear to be no scapegoats, which is a remarkable phenomenon for any group.

I was deeply moved and energized by the meeting and I hope we can work together in the future.
