In the Spoke, posting on Safari

So, the drive over was fun (although I initially went to the wrong college) and the opening of the conference was fine (as fine a conference gets, I guess) but the real deal for the day was the dinner arranged by Gweekers and Mikey at a downtown tavern/eatery. We wound up being eleven and a half, including the new baby who came along (and charmed everyone, of course). In addition to new baby, old friends brought news of new jobs, new homes, and new projects, as well as new gossip to share over good grub and good beer. It was great to be with so many pals from my Year of Living Chenyously, and merely by foregoing sleep and staying up too late, we even got in a private visit with our dear hosts.

And I walked away with yet another T-shirt that totally rawks!

Today is get-down-to-business time; Otis will be hanging about here, grading and working, and I'll be conferencing and all that. We're going to head right back at the close of day, and might even make Isaaquah by sunset.
