I pity the man who can travel from Dan to Beersheba, and cry, ‘Tis all barren–and so it is; and so is all the world to him who will not cultivate the fruits it offers. – Laurence Sterne
I’m in Las Vegas this week, at the Desiree Alliance convention. Desiree is an organization of sex workers, academics and other allies; I really wish it were a lot more politically active than it is (like the sex worker organizations in India and Southeast Asia, for example), but because so many people attend this will be a great opportunity for me to rub elbows, press flesh, network, get face time, hobnob, mingle, socialize and otherwise associate with other people in the movement, including some of my readers. Even the drive here was rather nice; my husband was headed to California anyhow, so we drove together to Vegas and he rented another car for the last leg. As usual, I’ve already got all my columns posted for the week, but if I’m slow to moderate or answer comments, now you know why. Of course, I still have to work on this week’s TW3 column while I’m here, but since I didn’t volunteer for anything I should still have a bit of work time and the column should appear as normal on Saturday morning (that’s the plan, anyway). I plan to be home Sunday night, and a week from today I’ll tell you about what I did and saw and all. Send me your prayers, thoughts, wishes or whatever for a good and safe trip!
Looking forward to your reports from the conference! Bring elbow pads. ^^
Have loads of fun!
Restaurant reports too if you please:)
Safe trip, Maggie.
Have a safe, fun, and productive trip.
Not just rub elbows — meet your readers!
I will be in Las Vegas next week. A week late and a dollar sort.
On my way to Germany – I saw a woman in the NOLA Airport that looked a lot like you (same hair – you know?) – and she was with her husband who looked like he could be “Maggie’s Man” … I almost approached her then I realized.
“Silly Krulac! Maggie McNeill don’t fly!!”
LMAO!
So any reader COULD bump into Maggie anywhere at any time except one place – AN AIRPORT!! 🙂
Have a great time in LV.
Have a safe trip and enjoy!
By now you’ve been there and done that, and I look forward to reading how it turned out. Glad you were able to go via interstate. Wish we had a better train system in this country. Already know you don’t fly anymore, and won’t bother quoting Superman again.
Perhaps one day there will be Hyperloops across the continent, and people will only have to fly if they want to get someplace like Hawaii in a hurry, or into space at all.
