I am currently on the 27th floor of the Marriott Hotel in Baltimore. I have been here since Tuesday and will get to go back home on Saturday. Long time to be away from you and Frank :(
Fortunately, this is a very exciting gathering of my peers, people that work to promote and support arts education around the country. It's a very interesting and inspiring group. It's the type of conference that gets me all excited about what I do. It reminds me of the big picture and the impact we have. It's easy to forget the importance and impact of our work as sometimes it seems like I am just shuffling papers and answering emails all day. It's easy to get lost in the daily routine just going through the motions, day after day. It's nice to get a chance to refuel and re-energize.
It's even more important for me right now to know that I am doing something worthwhile. It helps me to justify being so far away from you, not just now but every day.
It will be interesting to see what you will end up doing one day. I know I am thinking far, far, ahead, but I can't help but wonder. Most importantly, I hope that it will be something you are passionate about, no matter how challenging it might be.
Shortly I am off to a reception at an amazing museum here called the Visionary Art Museum, one of my favorite places.

We somehow missed that museum when we were there! Bummer!
Glad to hear you're getting re-fueled!
