I Have Arrived in L.A....

After uneventful travel (the most exciting thing that happened was walking through the air puffer thingy in the airport), I'm here in L.A. and checked into my lovely room at the Century Plaza. I've already run into Steven Malk, Lindsay Davis, Sara Pennypacker, Donna Bray, Marla Frazee and my pal Kevan Atteberry.

They remodeled the lobby bar and I'm not sure that I like it. (It hasn't been the same since Darlene left anyway.) But it sure is hoppin, filled with conference goers having snacks and cocktails and catching up. I plan do a bit of my blogging there--it's fun to see who walks by.

The faculty dinner is in two hours but I need a snack first, so I'm off to nibble and see who I see.

More later--and conference session reports tomorrow. (I present in the morning myself!)
