Our scenario planning sessions ended at 5pm today with a euphoric group of people. We were blessed that a group of such high stature gave us two days out of their busy schedules. I hung out in the hotel lobby for an hour or so surfing via WiFi until my boss Mark (4) arrived to have dinner with Erik (2) and I at the hotel's bistro.

We three were deep in conversation about the last two days until I noticed that Hillary Rodham Clinton sat down in the next booth. I didn't have the nerve to interrupt her and her two dinner guests, so I just sneaked her into the photo of Erik (2). Hillary is partially visible through the pane of glass to the left of Erik's head. We were all wondering which of the men in suits across the aisle (1) was the spook assigned to protect her.
