Much appreciation to the best mother-in-law in the world for taking care of our house, Rory, Paladin, Pippin, the feral cats, the ducks, and the chickens while we were away in Cancun. As much as we enjoy caring for all those animals, they do make travel difficult, so we’re very thankful Mom was able to help us.

We spent the morning in a cabana at the beach again, sipping tasty beverages, then relaxed on our room's balcony, coincidentally when it started raining. The sky is sad that we head home tomorrow, and so are we.

Oh yeah, we're also in Cancun for the Release Notes conference. Here are yesterday's excellent speakers, plus the closing dinner. Definitely the most relaxing conference I've ever been to, with fascinating talks and interesting conversations with successful and beginning developers, writers, and others in our industry.
