I have just returned from the ASI conference as of this posting, and I must say I enjoyed myself there! I participated in workshops on creating indexes in InDesign, a service I now offer, as well as workshops on guiders, dealing with offshore editors, Cindex, and the proper use of cross-references. All of these were very informative. My WordEmbed class, co-taught with Ken Hassman, was very well received. I renewed friendships with several of my colleagues and made many new friends. All in all, I consider my time spent successfully. However, be it ever so humble there's no place like home! Back to work I must go!
