Was fortunate enough to attend an evening lecture and book-signing by world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Jack Horner<\/a> at the San Diego Natural History Museum<\/a> in Balboa Park<\/a>. The event had sold out within a couple of days. The presentation lasted a little over an hour and covered mainly infant and juvenile dinosaurs and the mislabeling of those juveniles as separate species. After the lecture there was a long line for the book signing meet-and-greet. Luckily for me he was signing the same paperback book of which the hardcover version he had already signed for me on his last visit. I waited around to make sure I was last in line so I could speak with him casually and get a photo. As luck would have it, Dr. Michael Hager, the museum’s director and old friend of Horner’s, also came to the table and I was able to congratulate him on his twenty years at the museum.<\/p>\n

This turned out to be a pretty outstanding evening.<\/p>\n
