Neil had a conference in Wilmington, NC, at the end of February. (It was pretty scaled back considering the current economic situation. Even so, the Raleigh ABC affiliate ran an "expose'" of the DOT's "wastefulness" and such. Pretty comical, actually.) As ya'll can imagine, Ollie was a HUGE hit. He was promoted to Jr. Pavement Engineer - complete with badge and traffic barrel! During the vendor breaks, there were arguments as to which table Ollie was allowed to set up since he attracted quite a crowd. I finally stated that we would charge $100 per half hour and rotate around to the various tables! Ollie and I had a nice mini-vacation while Daddy worked.
