I'm off for two days to the Great White North, Grand Rapids, where I'll give a talk tomorrow night for the area Library Association on the topic of Race and Racism. If you are in the vicinity, please stop by and visit!

Be ashamed ...
Eh, you're a hoser, man.
By the way, it is snowing up here at the moment.
I love Grand Rapids, but there truly are no priveledged frames of reference. For me, GR is the balmy south.
Quit while you're behind.
