After dropping the kids off at school a little earlier than usual, I headed down to Norman for the 2005 OU IT Spring Symposium. However, I had to leave to head back to work for an important meeting (that I kept hoping would get cancelled). So not only did I miss the technical session I most wanted to see, but I also had to skip out on free lunch. Lunch was included with registration, but I had to leave before I could even check out what they were having. That's practically sacrilegious (skipping free lunch). What might save the day with regard to the symposium, is a couple of contacts I made. If one in particular pans out, missing the lunch will be an acceptable sacrifice.
Today was Darby's big arts day. We spent a couple hours at her school, checking out her art display, watching her sing with her school choir, and listening to her piano recital, all in one sitting. She did pretty well.
After the arts I had to go back to work to take care of some server maintenance, plus to make up my time for being gone all morning.
UPDATE, 29 APRIL
I had forgotten to mention that at least I got a free t-shirt out of the deal. My pal Berto reminded me that the shirt will, in most cases, last longer than the lunch would have. He's right in that I still periodically wear the shirt from last year's symposium.
