I was going to take some time to blog about the conference and tell a funy story about trying to get a flight out of NYC, but it's not funny any more so I don't even want to talk about the conference right now.
In a nutshell I went to the Delta website this morning to do online check in and found out that our later flight out of NYC had been cancelled and that they had moved us to a noon flight (nope, nobody told us). The noon flight was then delayed until 2:20 then 2:30 now 3:08. We are really starting to wonder if we are ever going to get out of here. That may be a negative. I just paid 8 bucks for wireless access to keep me entertained because I packed my ipod in my checked luggage and Lisa didn't (yep, that means that she is in her own little world).
We did have our SnB on Wednesday and I'll post pictures when I get them off of the camera. Unfortunately my own session was about the only one that I went to because I am on Executive committee and that means I give my life to meetings at the national conferences for the next three years. Hey, I'll do what it takes to do some good.
I was also re-elected co-chair of queer caucus, but I think that was because no one else wanted the job. I am actually excited about that because now I'll get to do some CMS stuff for the caucus.
Ok, I am writing more than I meant to because I really just wanted to sulk, check email, and read other peoples' blogs!

about Cs last week. I have pictures waiting to be edited and uploaded. I am still not feeling back to my old self. Food is getting better, but I'm still tired. I didn't go to many sessions at Cs, but I did catch up with a lot of old friends and do some networking (that's what conferences are for, right?)
There was a night with the transexual J-Lo and Whitney Houston. Shhhh.... One trip to an awful yarn shop and some quality time spent with Lisa and my mom (who was also around for the night with the trannies). Yes, my mom is cooler than your mom!
Right now I am spending the weekend hanging window treatments so that the neighbors don't have to see what I really look like at 6 a.m. and getting ready to spend a little downtime with a soon to be colleague tonight.
More later, I promise!

It seems that folks remember that there was a first annual (I know, never use that phrase) 4Cs Knit Group and now they are looking for the 2nd. I put my head together with
Clancy and we have decided that we'll meet on Wednesday night at 8 (after the meeting of the Coalition of Women Scholars) and I'm going to try to reserve us a space at Miller's Pub right next to the Palmer House. Now I'll have to make sure that I bring a portable project that is intricate enough to be impressive yet simple enough to work on after a couple of beers!
Interested in knitting with us at Cs? Leave me a comment or send me an email at (sblackmon@REMOVETHISPARTcla.purdue.edu). I'm looking forward to seeing how many people now feel comfortable enough to knit a little bit during sessions!
