Well, that was certainly a week!  Between two conferences with timing issues, meetings, a visit to Dubai Eye, an event in the Caeser’s presidential suite, running my first 5k in 20 years, and dinner this evening at Armani, I’m certainly making the rounds.  Throw in […]

Another weirdly busy week (not that I’m complaining)!  I was the mistress of ceremonies for my first official event, went to a very strange Italian meal, got caught up on many of my reviews, and did my best to prepare for presentations and panels coming […]
