And so, the daily doodles did indeed become nearly daily, as predicted. But the trips were both great. My only uninspired sketch was from bed in my hotel room after a full day of roundtable brainstorming and a dinner with forty co-workers. It doesn’t really capture the energy of the trip, but by the time I was alone in my room the energy had been drained out of me.

The wedding, at 3pm the afternoon just outside New York City following a red-eye flight into Boston, was exhausting but perfect — the best college reunion since… well, my college reunion four months earlier. Not complaining.
