Partnership Meeting in Montreal

This time the Partnership for Information Standards held their conference in one of my favourite Canadian cities - Montreal. My itinerary:

• Oct 19 Flt AC8151 from Edmonton to Calgary
• Oct 19 Flt AC186 from Calgary to Montreal
• Oct 22 Flt AC1149 from Montreal to Ottawa
• Oct 22 Flt AC143 from Ottawa to Edmonton

I'll be staying at the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure.

Interesting partnership meeting as I spent most of my time with SCWG 2 and very little time with the Claims or Pharmacy groups. A few random thoughts from my time in Montreal:

• Some presentations still manage to polarize
• Eating in the dark can be interesting...and troubling - lines can be crosse
• My kingdom for a smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz's
• I can give up Coke...even though I love the fizz, the colour, the sweet sweet taste as it flows across my palat
• Sophia had an idea none of use even considered - who knew you could get smoked meat brisket to take home?
