Don't forget the extra batteries.
I devoutly hope you don't have to hoof it across the campus in high heels in the rain.

It's a really big campus, but beautiful-- our weather has been good lately (80s and 90s) except today (raining) so should be no problem. I will wear my Skechers!
Can't wait!!!
Oh and I forgot to mention, even though it's not really on topic but kind of..... the sweet young nurse on my Mom's floor in the hospital started talking about her days as a Navy medic, she was on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf about 9 yrs ago. She said her ship was based in Washington state and her group was referred to as WesPAC (for Western Pacific)!!!
I of course saw that as a significant SIGN.
My mom is doing really well after a lengthy and very complicated abdominal surgery....and loves this beautiful young nurse from WesPac -- who is sooo caring.
:)
I thought they referred it to WestPac, not WesPAC.

Wes Clark: "We're no better than our own sense of humility."
It was very reasonable. Not to worry!
Now - with Mercury retrograde and all- let's just hope all my electronics stay humming for the day! :)
lookin' for your great FHS, Ms!!
The General gets it right.
Competence--What a concept!
color me ALL SMILES!
I think it was my strong urging in the Christmas card that got him to come back here... :)
I am ready and armed with a new high speed puter to blog it.
I knew I should have followed up seriously on those Mandarin lessons.
Very excited to hear this conference. Any other CA Clarkies headed out?
