I thought I'd gracefully retired from the Danny Sullivan Keynote Review business. Comparing Danny to Edward R. Murrow, assessing how the attendance stretched the room capacity... ahh, they were good times. Then I awoke to find myself in a large hall at the Santa Clara Conference Center. It wasn't a dream!
