Nashville, here I come!
Thursday, November 16, 2006 at 11:26PM For all (both?) you loyal readers, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be away for a few days.
I'm off to Nashville, Tennessee to speak at the National Council of Teachers of English conference. I'm very excited about this opportunity, and not just because it means staying at a hotel (with a pool!). And not just any hotel with a pool, mind you, but the Opryland Hotel. I'll also get to see my pal Trine (aka Red Dane), who has come out of the woods at long last and is now the most over-qualified salesperson at the Nashville REI. And I'll get to meet Bruce "Jamberry" Degan, who is signing books with me and Susan Lubner.
And I'll get to wear my squirrel hat and sing NINETY-THREE IN MY FAMILY in front of an audience with a median age greater than five, which is kind of new for me (and hopefully won't be an unmitigated disaster).
I'll report back either way, I promise.

Mr. Boehner, who said replicawatches on Monday that he never assured the Senate that such
a package would pass his Imitation Watch chamber, did insist on and win a sweetener provision,
one that would speed the Omega Replica review process for construction of an oil pipeline
from Canada to the Gulf Coast. But while Mr. Boehner called the provision a “victory” in a conference call with House members over the
weekend, it was not sufficient to persuade House Republicans to accept the Senate bill.
On Monday, with Patek Philippe Watches Sale House
Republicans moving ahead Fake Watches with their plans to block the
bill, some of their Omega Speedmaster counterparts in the
Senate issued strong rebukes of fellow Republicans across the Capitol Rotunda.
“The House Republicans’Rolex Watches Sale plan to scuttle the
deal to help middle-class families is irresponsible and wrong,” said Senator Scott P. Brown, Republican of Massachusetts, who is in a
tough fight for Cartier Replica re-election in a Democratic state.
Mr. Brown was echoed by other Omega Skeleton Republican senators,
including Senators Richard G. of Lugar of Indiana and Dean Heller of Nevada, who both face reelection in 2012.
