It was a very busy and productive day. The wake-up call came at 6am and the bosslady and I finished up the proposal by 9:30am. We were at Casino Magic for the convention by 10:30am. Immediately upon getting our nametags we saw the first of 3 people that were on our hitlist. He remembered K, gave us tons of intell, and even gave us a couple of introductions. It didn't take long for us to track down the other folks on our list and see the other booths/vendors that showed up.
The best part for Daddy Cory was that there were some prime "trinkets and trash" being given away by the vendors there. JD grew up always getting a present when her dad went away on TDY and I want to do that too for Calvin and Nigel. Thankfully, the Delaware Institute for the Blind (I think, the items are in car already) had some little foamy Space Shuttles and astronauts and I got one of each for Calvin. Yea! items he'll love for FREE!
This evening the K and I went out to dinner with our friend that works at Stennis. He took us to Farve's on the Bayou - Brett Farve's parent's restaurant. It's a little place that seems rather pedestrian, but I was really impressed with the hushpuppies and the amazingly moist chicken breast I had. Yum, yum, yum. I think I'm going to make a trip there for a meal each time we come down here. Oo! Oo! Oo! Thanks to having a microwave in the hotel room, I decided to put the hushpuppies in a doggie bag. I need to go out to the car after posting this and nuke 'em.
I'll be getting up at 5:30am, picking K up at Randy's at 6am, and hopefully back in H'ville by 12:30pm. I will certainly be pissed if I have to sit around waiting for K in the morning. A purchase of a large coffee on the way there should get her going.
Maybe it's just denial, but I'm not nervous at all about the media training at NASA on Friday. That's probably going to change after K and I spend time talking about it during the trip tomorrow.
