Work
🤓
I accompanied my boss to the ECPA Leadership Summit in Nashville. I was mainly there to meet with people from the new file distribution service we’ve signed up with, but the experience reminded me how easily I absorb the atmosphere of a gathering like a conference. Done well, it’s a great way to not only confer on shared issues (AI was a big one), but also to inject some life into the industry. It was good to connect with new acquaintances and old, and the conference added a layer to my motivation to collaborate at work.

Before the conference started, I visited my sister Abbie and sister-in-law Colleen. Free time to see them was my condition for taking the trip. They introduced me to Chuy’s with its interesting art-covered walls (here’s Claude’s translation of one painting by our table), and then we walked around the Opry Mills mall. The highlights there were the fish tank outside Aquarium Restaurant and wandering around Bass Pro Shops. I’d been curious about that place ever since dimly remembering their logo, maybe on one of their catalogs, and wondering what it was from.
