I am in Atlanta for the big annual conference for writing teachers. I did not attend last year because of a family conflict, but I have attended (and presented in some manner) almost every year since… hm… I’d have to look on my c.v., which I can’t do because the WiFi access is restricted.

I was on my way to the opening general session when I ran into a former undergraduate student who is now a couple chapters away from finishing his dissertation. I never made it to the general session.
