What's the distance between Boston and Washington, DC?
According to good old Google, it's about 440 miles, with a
journey time of 7 hr 44 min.
But what do they know? According to the INTA calendar, it's
just shy of three years, the time that has elapsed between the
141st annual INTA meeting and, well, the 2022 annual meeting. Maybe
it's a sign of the times that this year's meeting is being
identified not by serial number (would that make it the 142nd or
144th?) but by year. In view of what's been happening in the
world recently, it's probably safer.
So what has changed? No, I mean with regard to the INTA
experience. As unlikely as it sounds (at least to me), if you
measure seniority by INTA years, I'm probably closer to being
one of the veteran old timers than a freshman. My first meeting was
at the tail end of the 20th century, back in 1998 in the city of
Boston. There's a rumor that that was 24 years ago.
