As I dash off to school to continue working on lesson plans, grading, and a few bits for the house I'm trying to purchase, I stopped for a minute to review the blogs in my RSS feed reader. And I have to admit to getting more than a little bit misty and sad. It's Lotusphere time, of course, and for the first time since... well, 95 or 96, I won't be there. I'll be here. Working in a different industry. Missing the action, the people, the knowledge, the atmosphere. Missing hosting parties, writing about the technology and business. Missing it all.
Some days, I ask myself whether I regret my choices - to be here, instead of there. And some days, the answer is yes. Not that I don't feel as though I'm doing something important - for me and for my community - I do. I am. But it's hard. My current consolation is that I'm getting some visitors after the show! Yay! I can't wait to see Warren and Kitty!!
I hope it's a great Lotusphere. Know that I'll be looking on through the blogs when I can (blocked at school) and thinking of all the great times and people from my Lotusphere days.
