Back from FGS Knoxville

My week in Knoxville for the FGS Conference went by way too quickly. I wrote about its success a few days ago. When I return from a major genealogy conference or institute, I do a number of things in the first few days.

• Get extra sleep
• Laundry
• Send thank-yous to the planners, volunteers, etc.
• Pay bills
• Review my lecture PowerPoint and syllabus materials to change things that didn't work as well as I had hoped and to add new details I learned at the conference or from someone at the event.
• File all the business cards, brochures, and fliers I collected. I do have a couple of business cards that do not contain my usual notation about the reason I was given the card!
• Put away all the pins and ribbons I wore at the conference -- they go directly into the stack for the next large event.
• Enter my new book purchases into Library Thing
• Begin to catch up on email
• Begin to take care of notes I made, things I promised to send, and sometimes wonder what possessed me to say "yes" to some of those things. 
• Wish I were back in the midst of the event excitement, education, and most of all the friendly atmosphere.
