L+B Day 2

Little to report today. I arrived noontime, having worked on speaking preparations in the morning, only to find expo "traffic" lighter than expected and declining through the afternoon.

One supposition I heard was the timing of the show: last week had holidays and school vacations that kept many folks out of the office, and perhaps they felt the need to be in the office and advance work issues and e-mail before coming to the show. (Not to mention that some felt the 6-day show to be too long -- so far I cannot disagree with this.)

I guess we'll know over the next 3 days; Friday, being the last day, will be light of course.
