Proudest Moment: Not puking while on stage in front of 300 people.
Funniest Moment: Megan Fitzpatrick yelling an expletive—loudly—while boring a hole on stage in front of 300 people. Sweet.
Most Heartwarming Moment: Being asked for a hug from a woodworker who reads my blog—Woody Medina.
Most Hopeful Moment: Seeing the considerable number of young woodworkers (20's and 30's) and even some children.
Most Grateful Moment: Being assisted by Bill from Michigan, a married couple with a cute little doggie, and two employees at the hotel in jump-starting my dead battery. Bill, thank you for
sticking around that entire time to make sure I was okay.
Loudest Moment: Cheering for Chris Schwarz' "birthday" at the Fox and Hound.

....and lastly....
