Imagine my disappointment...

...when I discovered that four days in the high-country had not left me with super-powers.

I had been especially looking forward to X-ray vision.

To make matters worse, I've had to put up with snickering among flatlanders about my Goldenleaf time. ("That was a HALF marathon, wasn't it?")

And there was this Karmic payback: My American Airlines flight back to LA really was delayed by 90 minutes.

Thanks, Bob, for graciously hosting this summit.

As they say in diplomatic circles, I enjoyed the full and frank exchange of views.

And the near-death experiences -- the lost steering, the cartoon hands of cardiopulmonary collapse, that home-made ginger brew.

Until we meet again to save the world and study Canadian comedy....
