Off to Knoxville

Well, in the morning, I'm off to Knoxville, Tennessee, for the annual Cormac McCarthy Conference. I'll not be presenting a paper this time, but I will be documenting the affair with the new camera. As one of my bosses put it, some folks are curious about what kind of people would attend a Cormac McCarthy Conference.

Here's hoping that the weather will be good and that the fall foliage will be nice. Back on Sunday.

Meet Miss Quentin

This is the first picture I've taken with my digital camera. Well, the first one I'm willing to share, anyway. Say hello to Miss Quentin. 

Nineteen Hours.....

That's how long I was at work Thursday. From 9 a.m. to 3:45 in the morning on Friday.

And back again at 10 a.m. Friday. But I did leave at 2 -- nice short day for the M, who was delirious from lack of sleep. One of my bosses said, "the last time I pulled an all nighter, I was drunk."

Well, I wasn't, so I remember it all too well.

I'm still recovering.
