And another finished!

Now we're both done with the business portion of this trip! K delivered her presentation a couple of hours ago, the first one in a panel of 4 presenters. She definitely had the best presentation. The most polished and learned presentation. She delivered it calmy and perfectly within the 20-minute time-slot. The audience and other panelists were tuned right in, nodding and taking notes. At the end, a woman came up to her to ask if she would email the presentation to her. She said that K's presentation really showed her what could be done with linguistic content analysis. Turns out she's a rep for the academic publications section of a substantial book publisher. Um... so that's pretty interesting!

After K's panel was done, I dragged her to a "Special Session" about Medieval combat fighting styles, in particular, Viking fighting styles. There were people dressed in armor and carrying swords. It was a big-time "anorak" session, but entertaining (to me anyway).

So, tomorrow is just cake for us. We're going to go to a couple of panels and then we'll take a trip out to Allston to see the neighborhood I lived in during my junior and senior year at BU. Will probably have dinner or late lunch out there, then head back to our hotel to pack.

It's such a relief to be done with the presentations and it was definitely worth the work. We've had a really nerdy-good time. It's been great to be in Boston again. Such a great city!
