I’ve found myself unexpectedly alone in the house with nothing I immediately need to do, so I’m writing this to let people know that, Yes, I’m still alive, but I really HAVE been too busy to get in touch and catch up. The calendars for April and May look like…

“Every Southern belle is a Mississippi queen…”
When I was about 19 – nearly so, or just-turned 19 – I went with my roommate Janis to New York City for the first time. We drove to Connecticut, and then took a train into the city. I still remember stepping out of Grand Central Station and onto the…
Relaxing a little…then back to work
I’m in Washington, DC, for the Special Libraries Association (SLA) annual conference (followed on Thursday by the Joint Transportation Knowledge Network (TKN) meeting). After having early meetings both Sunday and Monday, today I’m having a relaxing breakfast in my room. I’ve been eating out quite a bit, but my “breakfast”…

Quick note on Monday in Seattle
Another good day today. Interesting and informative sessions – though I only stayed in my afternoon session for an hour instead of 90 minutes, just tired at that point, and the third speaker’s topic wasn’t as relevant to me as the other two. Got to see Meghan, an old friend…
First day of SLA Conference – a good start

Much of today was the GTRIC meeting (Government Transportation Research Information Committee), the main event for members of SLA’s Transportation Division. It was a great program, very informative, and…
