Conference Days

These two days were effectively conference days, with all that entails. I presented my first paper, and the reception seemed generally positive at the point. On the first day I went out with this really nice fella from the conference who gave me a spin in his Mustang, and we got to visit the historic Bardstown road area. Again, it was quite the place and the food was superb. It's a shame that most stores closed real early, so I was unable to do a lot of shopping.

On the second day, my post-conference time was mostly taken up by the conference dinner, so it was a lot of food and rubbing shoulders with minimal sightseeing. Regardless, it was nice to have a little walk around downtown area after sundown even though it was lightly drizzling at the time. I did hear that the area was prone to street crime, so I did avoid going too far by myself given that I was carrying some serious camera gear. Ah, well.
