Taking a break from conference sessions at the American Association of Critical Care Nurses National Teaching Institute...Yep, they have provided us with email access so I can keep up with my email and with you all.

Whew! I thought I would have to withdraw from my addiction!

If you have a nurse in your life...remind them you appreciate our profession. It is National Nurse's Week.

So, Best and Worst of Crown:

BEST:

The ride down to the event with Theo and Gen...."It's hard to surprise a cow." and "the Cleavage of Distraction..."

Being at the same hotel with so many friends.

Thornbury hospitality!

The "snapshot" memory of Her Majesty, Padraigin and Genvieve standing at the barrier and knowing how nice the next 11 months would be.

Witnessing the Crowning of Cuan and Padraigin as Heirs: love is the most powerful of forces.

Walk and talk with Lisa.

The Q smile.

Ooomay, Peer bullets and "These are not scripper shoes..."

WORST

Packing for Crown and NTI together.

Being done and having your car boxed in. (Thank you Oh Wise and Wonderful Gen!)

Ooomay morning afters that last til evening afters.

*****See, my best is often longer than the worst.****
