I am thoroughly enjoying every second in Vegas – the conference is full of good speakers and great contacts (and the awkward moment of running into a former colleague of my father’s, who exclaimed “You’re all grown up!”), amazing food, and of course my phenomenal hotel room. Â I’m here through Sunday, and looking forward to a chill weekend and an uneventful trip back home. Â Here are some things that gave me a chuckle this week.
– what I would give for a Bollywood flash mob to erupt on a flight. Â Happy Republic Day, India! –
– Bears, Beets, and Battlestar Galactica is a platform I can support –
– Grammar nerds, rejoice –
– Love them. Â And love her even more after reading the story below –
One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.
Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant”, to which Michelle responded, “no, if I had married him, he would now be the President.”
