Midwinter comes but once a year…

And when it comes, oh dear, oh dear! ALA Midwinter is next week?! How can that BE? It’s not even New Year’s yet!

In any event, here is my skeleton schedule for ALA and events leading up to it. Campus starts up again Tuesday, which is one reason I’m cutting Midwinter short. Work one day, head to two conferences… January will be a January with lots of extra January in it!

I have plenty of time for vendor visits and exhibit-walking, and meetings with friends where we both have a big asterisk hanging at present. See you in San Diego!

    You are welcome to the raisins! I will fight you for the maple syrup. Or, this being SoCal, agave nectar.

    I’d tell you my real thoughts on raisins in oatmeal, but this is a family blog.

    Look at that…we are running :) I like raisins, by the way, but I would give you mine if I have anything with raisins in it.

  6. You’re running, I’m huffing behind you, but that will work. :-)
