Return of the Zone

Doctor Lenny would like to express the warmest regards and a deep thank you to the people of the deep south in Savannah Georgia, for all the hospitality rendered during the past week. Savannah hosted the National Resource Conservation and Development Council meeting - attended by 1500 folks. The topic was leadership and the keynote speaker one day was Teddy Roosevelt (excellent historical reenactment).

This note covers the important stuff - the food. Shrimp Creole was dinner day one, and blackened mahi-mahi was served for day two. There were buffalo wings in a sports bar and a nice large steak at one of savannah's finer steak-houses. Conferees sampled southern Barbeque Beef, Georgia peaches in season (and mouthwatering peach cookies), pecans, peanut brittle, yum. Both key lime pie and pecan pie were treats. My body is tired of restaurant food, but my taste buds and saliva glands are very happy for the experience.

I also got to meet some good down to earth people from all over the county. People share a common ground, and the RC&D conference took a look at many different difficult situations and blended success stories from a variety of regions. The breakout sessions were worth attending and the education philosophy that i brought to contribute was well received. I'll tease yawl with a photo today - the boat that lugged us back and forth over the river during the conference. I promise, more to come.
