Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.

Nala just did not like the great big scary looking Santa Paws at Dolittles at all, so getting her to pose for this picture was challenging. This was the best picture once I got her settled down a bit. I tried to push her a little closer, but she kept inching away and this was as close as she’d get.

As refreshing as this dose of winter has been (I must admit to the temptation of staying), I’ll be glad to get back home.
For my non-metric friends, 12°C = 53°F, -12°C = 10°F
Today’s the last day of RSNA, and I’ll be wrapping it up with a final refresher course on emerging PET applications and a session on radiation safety in CT. Then it’ll be time to find my way to the airport and head home. A recap of today’s sessions will have to wait until tomorrow, unless I can score some free wifi at the airport while I’m waiting for my flight.
RSNA was a pretty good show this year with vendors showing off lots of interesting new devices. There was a much more international flavour on the exhibit floor this year than in previous years I’ve been to RSNA. Germany, Korea and China all had multi-vendor trade booths set up which I thought was interesting.
A lot of great sessions on radiation dose optimization and management, so I have a lot of things rolling around in my head and a few ideas to work out.
RSNA moment: East meets west cuisine. Part of the breakfast the hotel sets out is biscuits and gravy. Yesterday morning while I was grabbing some breakfast, the Asian guy in front of me dished out a small bowl of sausage gravy, grabbed some toast and sat down. I doubt he knew about biscuits and gravy, but he seemed to like the gravy enough to go back and get a second bigger bowl of it.
