World's Fair of Money, Day 1

Arrived in Boston two hours later than planned, a result of flight delays. As usual for the Sheraton Boston, my room was not ready (this is the third time out of three), so I checked my bags and headed over to the Hynes Convention Center.

It was strange to be attending a convention at the Hynes and not see people in costume. Well, I guess it depends upon the kind of costume we're talking about. ( Let me talk about that, and other stuff that I did )

My plan for today is to spend some time at the TEC table representing the club, to visit the Money Museum exhibit on the bourse, attend a meeting of the Token and Medal Society, and go see the competitive exhibits. Later this afternoon, I'll be meeting clea_s for a reunion 30+ years in the making (we haven't seen each other since I was in junior high school). I'm looking forward to that quite a bit.

At some point, I may post an entry about tomorrow's TEC meetings (a board meeting, a general membership meeting, and a fellowship meeting). I need to get my thoughts in order before things begin.

In health news, my back is still spasming. And yesterday, while heading to Brookline, I took a tumble on the street and bruised my palms. I credit the latter to exhaustion and an unfamiliarity with the terrain (curbs here are higher than I'm used to). I credit the former to stress of all sorts. But none of it is stopping me.
