Gene and I started this morning with a bang in Tacoma, WA, where we opened the Washington Library Association 2006 annual conference. It was big, big fun. The crowd was large and enthusiastic, and in our third talk this year Gene and I really hit our stride, if I do say so myself. Special thanks to Robin, who moved heaven and earth to make the logistics work out.

Now I have a few weeks rest before I head to Connecticut with my son, during which time I hope finally to get Volume 4 off to the printer.
