May is always a good month; everyone likes May. There’s green grass (which usually gets covered with white one last time on the long weekend), the aforementioned long weekend, Cinco de Mayo, and last but not least, and dearest to my heart, the CSEG Convention. Anyone who’s involved in planning the convention, the exhibitors’ booths, tradeshow companies etc. knows the blood, sweat and tears that go into it. I’d like to send a big cheer out to everyone - the employees, organizers and committee members who make this convention work every single year. It’s tough work and very often thankless. May... the month that we lose 10 years off our lives!
