I'm home from my 36-hour trip to Atlanta, and am very very tired.
The conference was all right. I've never been to a conference with such a specific theme before ("Scientific Findings on Forgiveness"), and on balance, I'd prefer a wider range of topics. But I heard some interesting talks (including Marty Seligman, cool), and picked up some tips for how to analyze our psychophysiological data, and learned a clinical trick or two, and Lydia and I spent some intense and hopefully very productive time schmoozing with a potential funding source. There was a banquet Friday night, boring conversation and wretched food, but an excellent after-dinner speaker almost made up for the rest of it.
My talk was in the very final session of the conference, so it wasn't very well-attended - but it did seem to be well-received. My interview with the documentary filmmaker went well. He had to correct me a couple of times - when I looked at the camera and not at him, and when I answered something in less than a complete thought. (The audience would never hear his questions, he had already explained, so my answers couldn't depend on them.) He told me that I spoke well and that it was a good interview, but I suspect he says that to all the girls. I enjoyed the whole process.
Okay, I don't think I'm going to be able to stay awake until Michael gets home. It's been a very action-packed couple of days.
