aka – On the Road Again . . .
I will be heading off to Homer next week to make a presentation on women with disabilities and domestic violence. This is the final presentation of the little grant we received – remember the training I attended in Anchorage? And then the presentation I did here in June? And the trip I took to Vegas? (no, not the wedding, sillies – the other one) All of those have to do with a larger grant funded by CALCASA called Project Access.?
I head down Wednesday afternoon to pick up the meeting room key and to get the room set up – refreshments into the fridge, etc. Then the other presenter and I will do two days on the subject. I will stay over one more night – because I don’t do well on the road when I am tired.
So, what to do on that last night? Hmmmm???
Well, theatre, of course! And, Arsenic and Old Lace to be exact. I can remember my first theatre experience – it was at a small community center and my mom took my sister and me to see this very play. I, of course, didn’t understand much of the adult humor, but I remember how mesmerized I was by the whole theatre thing.
So, I have made my reservations and just need to pick up my ticket the night of the performance. Memories.
Oh – this theatre? Not exactly like Gladden Community Center. This one has quite a history to it. The seats are all mismatched chairs – well, at least they are chairs now. The first time I went there we reclined on pillows on raised steps. Memories.
but I digress . . .
YAY!! Again –
While I was in Vegas at the conference, an upcoming conference was mentioned – assistive technologies – and I expressed an interest in attending. Unfortunately they only had so much money to go around and would not be able to take everyone who wanted to attend. But I was requested to apply as an alternate.
Today? Today I received word that I will be attending!
It is the week after my Homer trip.
I will be coming home on Saturday – washing and repacking – heading up to Anchorage on Sunday to fly out on the early, early (and probably way too full) flight on Monday.
Where?
Nashville, Tennessee!! Woot!
long long time ago we drove through Nashville on the way to somewhere else (Louisiana). I remember stopping in front of the Grand Ol Opry House – we used to love to watch that on tv – but we didn’t stay long.
Not sure how much playing I will get to do – but I am leaving myself open for the adventure.
Whew! Can we say traveling moosie? Hopefully the flights will not be as memorable as the last ones. :moose:
