This quote from "Real Simple" is wonderful:
A love affair with knowledge will never end in heartbreak. 
- Michael Garrett Marino
And to this I add my own personal honor: PCMA (The Professional Convention Management Association - www.pcma.org) has honored me w/ a life-time achievement award as an educator. The award will be given on 2 April in Washington, DC at the PCMA Foundation dinner. I am so pleased to be honored for my passion.
