Last week I spent a few days in Fort Worth, Texas.  I have two regrets.  Regret one: I didn't find and buy an affordable yet awesome cowboy hat.  (The one pictured above was sufficiently awesome, but not sufficiently affordable.  Ergo, I do not own it.)   Regret two: I didn't have any Blue Bell ice cream.  But, on the bright side, I did have brisket, I did have Jamba Juice, I did spend time with friends, I did ride a mechanical bull, I'm more excited about research, and I learned a few new things at the conference.  Overall, I consider that a win.
