Chicago

I’ve got to get my act together for AWP.  Thursday is the registration deadline, for one thing.  I do have a hotel room, having booked it months and months ago, and will be sharing it with my friend Midwest Writer.  NLNRU is paying my expenses (yay!), so I don’t have to make the case to Starfleet Academy for the funds, only for the time off.  (I could use personal days, I suppose, but I’d rather have this considered a professional absence.)  I also need to plan the next several weeks enough so that my classes can be doing something useful while I’m away.  Got to get to all of this soon, like today.
