Providence Found

Betty & I are at a close friends’ wedding this weekend, in Providence, RI. Every time we drive through Providence, one or the other of us comments we could probably like living here. & They’ve got a nice train station, which is my sign of a civilized place.

We’re back on Sunday, only to leave Monday for DC. We’ll return a day later, only to go to LI for the Femme Fever party. I’m starting to feel like a rock star on tour, wondering exactly where I am for the first few minutes after I wake up: “Oh, it’s Thursday, this must be Cleveland.”

Fantasia Fair 2007

We were planning to go to the whole of Fantasia Fair this year, where I was supposed to present my keynote on Monday, but 2007, being what it has been for us (complicated, frustrating, exhausting) has proved itself more in charge of us then we are. As a result, we’re going to FanFair on Thursday, 10/18, instead.

I will, however, present my keynote on Friday, 10/19, since Stephen Whittle has had to cancel, as has Marilyn Volker.

But the Fair officially starts today for anyone going for the whole week.
