Wow, my home town! Well, Decatur, actually, and it’s all squished together now inside I-285.

So, is Jenny still hawt? (Surely you could have tipped her some Suetonious, in Latin, which would gobsmacked her, had she only understood.)

Snork!

I did make a reference to “Howl” during my paper….

Rochelle, it was amazing to get to meet you and I’m much looking forward to reading more of your work. It was rather odd to step back into the usual routine of things at work; I’ve wonderful colleagues, but disability studies is not anyone’s specialty here, and getting to speak to you and so many others was inspiring and educating. And then some!

It was very nice meeting you this weekend, Kristina, and I enjoyed the conference, too. Actually, there were times that I couldn’t keep up with the thoughts in my head as they related to the dissertation. And, I think the conference actually gave me some pretty good ideas about narrowing my research focus of my dissertation in regard to how rhetorical theory can contribute to our understanding of autism studies and how autism studies can contribute to our understanding of rhetorical theory.

I’m actually quite mentally drained today, but I’m ready to start writing again. Lots of sources to read now…

I wish my paper had been more fleshed out–I’m still working on it and I see that I have lots of work to do if I’m going to contribute something to the great scholarship that’s going on. And, all of the papers were so different and so good.

Again, it was great finally getting to meet you face-to-face this weekend.

I wonder the chemical content of McCarthy’s deathly-stiff blonde bob? Talk about Toxic….

My hair, if I may say so, is quite imperfect (also keeping in mind that I had just gotten off of a plane, had gone to bed at 3am, and initially went the wrong way on Peachtree Blvd), and has always been the same color (not that anyone wanted to know). My main observation about HBOT “devices” is that they look like those nylon tunnels (made of parachute like material) that you can get to crawl through.
