It sounded so wonderful, I just really want to know. Maybe I can make it next year?<BR/>(I write with my flowy velvet skirt tucked under me; I've always worn skirts like this- it isn't something I've grown into. But I also do the jeans and the occasional dressy suit type outfit.)Lomagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273397354830985024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-3552547509684212942008-02-06T13:23:00.000-05:002008-02-06T13:23:00.000-05:00TVs in the elevator...

Last year I found myself in a hospital emergency room with some very stressed-out people who had been in a car accident, and they had TVs with a news channel on (I think it was Fox). "BAD ECONOMIC NEWS! TERROR ALERT! YOUR ___ MAY BE TAKING YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE!" My heart-rate went up by 20 just listening to it all. Wouldn't it have been better if they were showing "March of the Penguins," or even nothing at all?Danny Bradfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171261421967060917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-4586459536132757782008-02-06T09:36:00.000-05:002008-02-06T09:36:00.000-05:00Whenever you travel, your writing takes me with yo...Whenever you travel, your writing takes me with you.

Is your school on break? I can't imagine how I'd find the time to go to a conference in the middle of a semester, so if you have a Magical Secret you're not telling us, please let me know! :-)Loriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610684937868696220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-21301441144021077212008-02-05T20:49:00.000-05:002008-02-05T20:49:00.000-05:00I love big city.

It's great being close enough to take the train in, though I haven't been in to the museums (which I love) in quite awhile.
