Just thought I'd stop by and say hello. I saw this....

And wanted to say that IMHO this wouldn't be a good thing to do. I think that asking whether he's comfortable can sometimes be viewed by the LBS as a form of pressure- it makes him feel bad if he has to say no, and reminds him that he is uncomfortable if he has to say it. Even if he is comfortable, it'd be better to just give him the space to say so himself and volunteer the information. JMO though.

You being in bed and not waiting up for him is DBing in a way- you're showing that you can give him space and don't need to see him every night while you're there.
Hope you're OK otherwise. The company at the conference sounds interesting. Good plan on the being good front!!
