Well, Hello, Palm Trees! On The West Coast Absorbing 70 Degree Weather For a a Conference

I made it just in time to see the sun set and to get to the Presidential Address, although I never made it inside because it was too nice sitting outside in the cool California air.

I'm at the Literacy Research Association to support Marcelle, one of my mentors from Syracuse University, who is the incoming President for the association in 2019.  Today, at 3, I present on two years of literacy work with Project Citizen and our unique Ubuntu design for Young Adult Literacy Labs at Fairfield University.

I forget how hard east to west coast jet lag is, but I will adjust. It wasn't the trip to Houston, where it took me forever to get to the destination; instead, besides the turbulence it was a kind and gentle trip (read two books on the plane).

I ran into colleagues from yesteryear which made for a great evening and this morning I'm waking up for a run, a shower, and then the full-force presentation.

I'm a little heavy-eyed, so this post will be slight. Even so, I made it and all will be well. Here's to West Coast winters!
