Got milk? It's time for Medtrade Spring!

Got milk? It's time for Medtrade Spring!

Like many of you, I am gearing up for Medtrade Spring next week. My get-ready checklist looks something like this:

Identify educational sessions to attend.

Schedule face time with fellow attendees who are usually just voices on the phone.

Bug HME Christina for all relevant travel confirmations and assorted paperwork.

Verify that my “conference pants” still fit.

Pack lots of reading material for the plane (there's no quick way from Maine to�anywhere).

One item on my reading list: Arianna Huffington's Sleep Revolution, which I recently picked up at the bookstore. Arianna is all about prioritizing sleep, which I wholeheartedly agree with it, even though I don't always succeed. I mean, I'm no Warren Zevon, but sleep doesn't come easily to many of us.

Amid all this pre-show activity, an article titled “Beverages to avoid to sleep soundly while traveling” caught my eye.

Gasp! The three categories are caffeine (coffee), alcohol and soda.

Uh, what else is there?! I love a cold glass of milk like no one's business, but caffeine is what will keep me going during the show. And who among us doesn't remember my fervent (and fevered) pleas at last year's show for Diet Coke in that Pepsi-centric town? (Thank you, Kevin Gaffney!).

Plus, I have a post-show margarita with my name on it waiting for me.

Hopefully, I'll see you at the show, but if not, stay safe, sleep well and cheers!
