Summit conference today--all day! I arose around 6 this morning--and got to the convention site around 7:30. No traffic--just empty lanes before and behind me. Smooth ride in the new car--all the way there but not on the return (more on that later).

Conference went well--it was tightly organized and filled with helpful data and information. There were ample breaks--and lunch went smoothly even though there were nearly 1,000 people attending. The treat of the day was a talk given by a man who has early onset PD--and who with his son won a season of the Amazing Race. His presentation was so warm and open--that it filled the room with hope and strength.

I'm glad that I went--and I'm zonked right now after such a full and fulfilling day. But I'm glad that tomorrow is an R&R day--since I have an issue to deal with re the new transport. An engine check light came on as I left the convention's parking garage--and by looking through the user guide I discovered a work-around that has to be done if the problem persists. I'm supposed to fill the tank--and drive the car several times when the engine has cooled. Theoretically, the check engine light will turn off then--something to do with the no cap filling component. The thing that isn't there in this car--creates the problem of the warning light turning on. Hmmm--meanwhile I have to spend cycles performing this fill-and-drive ritual. And of course--the service area at the dealer is not open tomorrow (Sunday).

Persevere, be content--and keep things simple! Message left from today's conference--I need to figure out how to do so. Rock Steady--all the way!
