West 2012: Possible Pastry Crimes by the Power House Three

Free Registration Here!

I know. It's only December, and already I'm looking at the calendar for 2012.
January is going to be a busy one.
I was anticipating West 2012, probably the best conference for me to go to because

Bootstrap USA

1. It's military related.
2. It's free.
3. There's lots of smart people who go.
4. I was hoping my friend Eric Walrabenstein, developer of Bootstrap Stress Management, a free program designed for veterans would show up.
5. An assortment of smart asses are going to be there.
6. Those smart asses are my friends.

So, Boston Maggie, Mary Ripley of the U.S. Naval Institute and myself are going to be there. The question is whether or not it would be okay for the three powerhouses to stay at the same hotel. I mean, really, there is only so much combustion a building can take --rather the other guests can endure before mass happiness breaks out, and suddenly everyone in the hotel is giggling.
Or so I think.
But what I hadn't anticipated all those months ago was that The Hubs would be assuming the command of a new unit at Ft. Bliss.

On the same dates. Or thereabouts. The unit really isn't sure if it will be 20 January or 24 January.
So if it's on the 24, this means I have to get back from El Paso on the 25th. I'll have to deposit Daughter at a friend's house, say hello to my cat and dog, then high tail it down to San Diego. 

And then, we will have at least one night of infectious giggling, snorting, random tweets and pastry crimes.
The kind of tweets that just cause everyone to think: they've lost it.
Can the Navy brass handle us?  Mary says there's a yoga studio downstairs. I intend to shove everyone in it, have them in downward dog, then walk around with a feather duster and tickle them.
