Calm on the Late Train

Kids, I leave for my biggest event of the year in ten days.

Am I working late? Definitely. Am I stressed? Of course. 

However, I feel oddly calm right now.

Maybe it's that I finally found my groove on this event after 3 years. Maybe it's that our team is rocking out the logistics and last-minute details. I can't say for sure. 

What I can say is this: despite the late nights on the train over the last few weeks, I think Chicago is still too cold for crazy shenanigans on the late train. Maybe the crazy, late-train stories will come in a month or two when spring finally decides to appear.
