100 Words (Sept 08): Day 18

When the Q&A tapered to an end, I gathered my notes into the scuffed brown leather briefcase that Paola had given me when I took my master’s degree. I thanked the A/V assistant for his halfhearted efforts and headed for the main entrance to the conference center to wait for a shuttle to my hotel.

I had been pacing the sidewalk waiting for the van for several minutes when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the fellow from the back of the conference room. He appeared to be trying much too hard not to attract my attention.
