Cease forthwith to wonder whither or whence I have been this past week, for verily I am disposed to apprise my readers of the circumstances thereof, anon. By dint of some commitments, which we had long foreseen, to the many whom we count as close acquaintances, as well as the few whose acquaintance we had lately had the opportunity, not to say, the pleasure, to make, our days had been fully engaged, in several widely separated localities, in activities which were at once pleasant (for the company of the aforementioned acquaintances) and a trifle irksome (for the long drives that unhappily had to be undertaken during the morning and evening rush hours).
We attended lectures conducted by visitors from out of town that were of particular interest to those in the audience who had not previously been exposed to the subject matter. But also to those who had been there and done that, there were gems of information that could be added to their store of knowledge, to be saved for future use.
There were meals in a variety of venues, some rather good. But in the main I can do no better than to affirm that the time spent on all the various activities over the past week can be classified as being worthwhile. Yes, the early wake-ups and late nights had taken a bit of a toll on us, but we now have a relatively uncluttered week in which to recover.
