I spent most of last week at the American Society on Aging's Annual Conference, just got back today!
I got to go to some great workshops, including an especially good one from the Zen Hospice Project about Buddhist mindfulness and hospice care. If you are at all interested in such things, they are a great organization based in San Francisco.
Also saw a nice keynote address by Maya Angelou and a final night party with the Capitol Steps, a political musical comedy troupe. Check out their website, they have some funny mp3s that you can download.
I also indulged myself by spending an extra night and going to the Cherry Blossom Festival on the National Mall. It was beautiful!
(I didn't take this picture- I forgot my camera and couldn't take ANY- ugh!)
