Hello faithful readers!
My planned travels have come to an end. The marathon weekend, in which I presented at three different state conferences, went better than I had hoped. Champaign, Illinois then Jamesburg, New Jersey and finally Baltimore, Maryland.
Champaign was a testament to how small the world can be – I had the good fortune to [...]

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” ~ Mark Twain
I couldn’t agree with Twain more. In this past year I [...]

Tomorrow morning I fly home from the RID Region V Conference in Sacramento California.
It was a great conference, not just for all the things that went well, but also for the example the Conference Committee set when faced with problems. I know they faced some major issues, but as a presenter, it did not seem [...]

The view of the harbor from my hotel room, Saint Johns, Newfoundland, Canada
After a complex and exhausting flight schedule, I finally arrived in Saint John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Taxiing to the gate had the feel of England – with a pervasive fine mist and overcast, haunting dimness and those unique conifers specific to northern seacoasts. After [...]

For those of you who actually read my blog, I apologize that I have fallen a bit behind.
So what’s been happening lately? Wow, a lot.
The last weekend of June, I was in Houston presenting for RID Region IV conference. It was a massive conference and I can honestly say I was bit intimidated by the [...]

The trip to Vegas, presenting for the Nevada chapter of RID (NVRID) was an excellent trip – for a small chapter, they really had some powerhouse thinkers. The discussion was excellent and everyone was very flexible with the technology. As always, I feel like I walk away learning just as much as I teach – [...]

My perceptions before I left – they are a very well run conference, on the ball; thought they might be a bit more like the Boston/East Coast interpreters that I have met; Baltimore was going to be a scary metropolis to drive through; the hershey tour was going to be just a blip on the radar; [...]

Well, tomorrow I leave for Pennsylvania state conference. They are a very well organized conference, very on the ball. I appreciate that the interpreters for my workshop have already been in touch and we have done some prep. My workshop is not easy, let alone if you aren’t prepared for it. I get frustrated when [...]
