Today's the kind of weather that I remember from the past five years' worth of first weeks in October: it's sunny blue sky, yellow leaves, bright windy sun. The past five are memorable to me because I've spent them driving to Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter for the annual Nobel Conference. The drive follows the Minnesota River for quite a while: a lovely valley. I didn't go this year - and yesterday was full of rain, so not going was a good thing.
But I'll get my driving fix in this weekend when I go to Chicago for the TYCA Conference, where I'm on a Saturday morning panel with folks from Century. Still not sure what I'm going to say! But the drive should give me good thinking time.
This noon, I had a shiatsu massage for the first time. I'm getting Rosy of Blue Heron Bodywork to help with my old shoulder injury. She's a former student of Josh's, and he gave me two sessions with her as a Christmas present. Today's session felt great, although I'm ruining it by sitting at a computer!

Nice to hear from you, J. Maybe I should go to your personal blog, eh? I love these Oct days, too. Have a swell time in Chicago, happy muscles and all.
Yes, in fact this entry was supposed to go on the personal blog. How did I mess that up??
But, but, you'll have to send me that link. . . .
Yeah . . . email me for it, okay? I'm trying to keep a *some* type of separation between the two.
Personal blog? I've been shunted to the non-personal blog? I didn't know that a personal blog existed!
re: Duluth
1. Betsy Birmingham gave an incredible talk on Marion Mahoney's erasure from architectural discourse. Email her at NDSU and ask for her handout -- you will be amazed at how sexist architecture as a discipline still is.
2. Kevin Brooks have a talk on the trivium and technology.
3. Angela gave a talk on a 19th century male impersonator on the lecture circuit.
4. Josh gave a talk on the impossibility of love.
A good dinner, a few good lunches, good company. Some tensions, but that is likely all the time, everywhere.
David - glad to hear you scheduled good speakers. So don't *you* have a personal blog? Where can I find it?
No personal blog for me. Occasionally anguished adolescent Facebook posts.
The kids think it's funny that an old man has a Facebook page, but I do.
