ok people tell you - but Chicago is really some kinda cold. 13 degrees w/strong wind. Lots of fur coats on the street and trust me it would have felt GOOD to have one. Gay and I had a delightful talk on the flight, we met Cam, ate a lovely lunch, drank hot Siberian tea and really enjoyed the first day of the BoardSource conference. Wonderful insightful plenary by Thomas Tierney on building leadership in a era of leadership deficit. The Second City (who launched the likes of Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd) was the evening entertainment. They did some improv that was really so funny, I can't even imagine the last time I saw live comedy. I'm totally looking forward to tomorrow.
