I came out of it OK too with no health problems that I notice. Some of the 
classrooms were quite chilly though. Unfortunately, the smoke in the public 
places did get to me and I started smoking lightly again, I suppose in self 
defense. I'm back on the patch for a few days until I return to what was 
becoming "normal".

I haven't talked about it much, but after 30 years of chain smoking John 
Player's Specials (they call them "Black Death" on the street) I had quit 
smoking April Fools Day of this year. While the health and business 
benefits were the major factor in my decision, over the following 100 days 
I saved enough by not smoking to cover a quarter of my expenses for the 
whole convention trip!

As for my pockets, I'm no lighter than my budget allowed, I  had a lot of 
fun and I learned a lot about our profession and about life. You can't 
really ask for more. Many thanks to the PTG and Team 2001 for making it 
possible!

Looking forward to Chicago in 2002!
