Well, readers, I believe I may have suffered from a similar malady over the past week. Experts believe "APRA Conference Syndrome" is caused by being in a room with 1200 other advancement researchers and attending multiple prospect research workshops and panels. The Syndrome (which is exacerbated by listening to Keynote Speakers) include the following:
- Believing that you have discovered the Holy Grail of wealth estimation formulas
- Thinking that all your coworkers back home will be as delighted to here about data modeling theories as your APRA Conference Buddies
- The delusion that you will actually have time to implement all the fantastic new ideas you picked up from experts in the field
- Experiencing visions of flawless prospect management systems
- The realization that you have stumbled on a rare Eden filled with intellectually curious, generous, down-to-earth and dedicated colleagues (this one lasts more than a few days...)

I will be back to more substantive posts as soon as I finish doing my laundry. A big Thank You and Best Wishes to all of you that make up this professional community.

Hi, Deborah - from a Chicago Conference Colleague...you lunched with our Missouri-Kansas group. Your musings post-conference were right on (my co-researchers will be just as thrilled with this new way to parse our database...etc. that I brought back...) SO true. Keep up the good work and thanks for the RSS feed info - hadn't seen that before.
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
