Such Long Legs I Have…

The annual state conference is not quite over, but I needed to get back after the exhibits closed, so I’m home again, home again, higgledy-pig, after a weekend of grip and grins with hundreds of happy Californians. Caught a flight out of Burbank last night at 5 p.m., four hours earlier than I had planned […]

The Prodigal SWAG!

So Stephanie Stokes (a fellow state project person, she of the California Summer Reading Program) said to me, “Oh, come on, Karen, go get the supervisor of the conference center.” So I bucked up, went back, and Asked To Speak to the Manager, who turned out to be an intensely focused man who an hour […]

A Conference Booth, from the Other Side

Propositions 73 through 77: Just Say No

How is FRL voting, you wonder. I’m voting the Equality California recommendations, the subtext for which is “Just Say No.” I’m copying in EQCA rationale for voting against the propositions because I agree and accept EQCA’s rationales, and also because if you want my support on an issue, don’t start out by alienating me. ——————- […]
