That's How It Happened

Conferencing in Montreal is kind of strange. I'm absolutely overwhelmed by sleep deprivation, gourmet tasting menus, and the giant postmodernist conference centre. I don't have any energy to actually express thoughts or feelings. There are some things I've really enjoyed in Montreal though: the underground city, Toque! (though my face did seem quite numb after the 7th or 8th fancy organic wine), Le Club De Chasse Et Peche (signature dish, a new-style surf and turf, of lobster claw and deep fried veal sweetbreads), Turf Gallery, and most of all the insane storms and rain that have been attributed as the tail end of Katrina.
