Next year the Erdheim Chester Disease Global Alliance will be meeting in Bethesda Maryland. The location is right near the National Institutes of Health, which I think will provide for some amazing speakers. It turns out the conference will most likely be hosted where my Dad and I stayed when we were there. If you are interested in attending keep your eye on the ECD Global Alliance web page and I am sure that details will be posted when the date gets a little closer.
It is in a great part of town and as you can tell from this picture there is a historic railcar diner nearby. This one is called the Tastee Diner and the food was good. Company great (my Dad was amazingly supportive of me on this trip). When they built these diners they were made to be moved from one bustling part of town to the next. The goal was to have a mobile restaurant that could locate itself where itinerant workers could be found building what we think of as modern America.
Flexibility was the original notion, but now a days most diners have become permanent structures in locations that are certain to not change. Which is nice when your looking for a reliably tasty place to get a meal.
Certainty has its advantages, but it is not something we can always have. I find that ECD brings a lot of uncertainty into my life. It is good to know that the support of friends and family is not one of them.
