Last night Denise asked me why I seemed so far away, lost in thought. I 
turned to her and said "I'm missing PyCon". She reached across the 
table, touched my hand, and said "I'm sorry you couldn't go this year, 
dear." I had a few beers too.

Next year though, I'm there! And the year after that, it may be in my 
neck of the woods so I'll have no excuse for missing it.

If there are any FoxHeads lurking here in the Chicago area, stop by the 
conference and feel the buzz, which will seem familiar to devcons past, 
most likely.

Paul
