Atlanta, a most worthwhile time!  Another great ALSB conference.
Knowledge and invigoration at every turn.
 
The joke below, while all too true with regards to newspapers, did not
match my Atlanta experience.

A fellow from Boston was in Atlanta, GA, visiting family.  One day he
decided to take a walk around the area where his relatives lived to
enjoy their fine, comfortable Southern way of life - something he was
not accustomed to in the Northeast.
 
While he was walking he happened upon a pit bull attacking a small
child.  His instincts took over, and he ran to the child's aid by
grabbing the dog, and choking it to death.
 
As the dead animal lay at his feet, a man came running over from the
other side of the street.  He announced that he as the star reporter
for an Atlanta newspaper, and he would make the rescuer
famous:"ATLANTA MAN SAVES CHILD FROM GRUESOME DEATH", to headline on
page 1.
 
The would-be savior explained that it was very nice, but he was from
Boston, not Atlanta.  The next day he read the headline:  "YANKEE
BASTARD KILLS FAMILY PET."
