I should also mention I'm going to my first portfolio review of sorts - it's 
a portfolio boot camp - a little nervous as I have prepared a little but not 
a lot.  I won't be slayed if they say my stuff sucks and I should keep my 
day job as that's what I am doing now anyway.  But three days in Santa Fe in 
September - what's not to like right?  Wish me luck
