Eeeek just over a month till the conference in Chicago.
Much as it would be nice to catch up with new friends, I've opted to stay home. It is a very long way and I would like to travel to the States sometime with Mrs Bemused, but it is not possible with her work this April.
I am also rather shy, which might be a suprise given the amount of posting I do, but it is true. And the thought of a large group, crying and hugging with lots of emotion does actually terrify me. It is a product of my early years. Interestingly put me in my uniform, behind a keyboard or with the hound and I am able to roar out of my shy shell.
I've been kindly asked to send some of my mad ramblings, so two MK colleagues have kindly assisted with this (my smelling is not up to scritch and my puntation is beezare). Also a kind MK has offered to fly the Kiwi flag on behalf of MKs from down here. Don't worry the haka will probably not be performed by said individual
and if it is, please take photos.
