PLA in Portland!

3/23/10--2:45 pm
Made it thru "secoority" w/o too much drama. My son had his hair (Swedefro) patted down, so you may be assured the world is safe for democracy, at least where curly hair is concerned. Alaska Air was a breeze; sad we can't return that way, but we're booked on Untied. So far not too unpleasant. Boys are in line for McD's & Gold Coast Dogs (haute cuisine here in Terminal 3).
--8 ish pm
Arrived with a bounce and applause for the captain. Our friend Pat graciously picked us up at baggage claim & took us to his house, where his kids (!) had dinner waiting. May I please have these children, on a trial basis at least? We had a nice evening but were wiped out--since we were 2 hours "ahead". He ferried us to the Marriott Residence Inn & we are installed in our cozy Portland pied a terre.

3/24/10--7 a.m.
The games begin. I'm scheduled to attend a preconference on gaming, which I'm hoping will be fun & interesting. Supposedly Natalie Merchant (!) is making an appearance today. Rockin' librarians. I'm sure it will be her perfect audience. :D
