There are not eyes enough to see.. the blinking button with the red eye and all of the marvelous materials that you would just have loved to get your hands on. There were not ears enough to hear, the lectures, the ideas, the greetings, the jazz, the words that are music to teacher's ears. How many do you want? Feelings.. of power, the cab driver said that 15,000 science teachers were descending on the town. I was one of those. and the vignettes , caused us to feel very powerful.. if a little overwhelmed by the vastness of the exhibit hall , and the thickness of the offerings, and sometimes the length of the line. I never found the popcorn, smelled it.. and never got the lollipop.. each time I stood in line, they were out... how did they know when to stand in line? To capture the essence of the Science Conference and to separate it out would be like identifying each of the part of gumbo.. but.. it would not be the same. You gotta go. Bonnie
