On your mark...get set....

The Conference is set to open in just a few minutes. They'll be a flag salute and I'm guessing a pretty decent rendition of "America the Beautiful"--as I've been sitting in the main auditorium while the singer warms up.

(The staff here at the Conference Center and Dorchester have been EXTREMELY helpful in getting me set up--so kudos to them)

Gordon Smith is set to do a town hall style meeting. There should be a sufficient number of softballs lobbed his way--I'll be blogging it forthwith.
