off to the wild, wild west

I'm off first thing in the AM to Tucson, the main event being a certain someone's dissertation defense and associated festivities. Also, visiting with some old colleagues and friends, outdoor fun, spring training, and as much Mexican food as I can possibly manage to eat in seven days.

Then a brief (14 hours to be exact) layover at home; just enough time to catch a nap and switch suitcases (yes, the second one is packed already) and head off to Portland, OR and Stevenson, WA for a meeting and a too-brief visit to Hotel Roko.

All of which is to say don't expect much activity around here for a while.

Toodles.
