How we were representing ourselves, our company, and our nation. The guy laid out detail strategies and all sorts of factoids and ideas.

After the talk there was lunch which was, graciously, provide and a lot of talk around the tables. Very little of it was about the content of the presentation. The main subject of all the conversations was that his fly was down.

But we can't keep our pants zipped up and our shoes tied.
