We’re off tomorrow bright and early for points north, as in Sacramento. It’s time for the annual dog and pony show we call the California Library Association’s annual conference. It’ll be three days of hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun. Our job is to man the booth, give stuff away, and generally do a whole lot of good old-fashioned PR. After the conference, we’re driving back by way of my aunt’s for a visit, then finally heading for home next Wednesday.

I’ll try to post photos along the route. I expect we’ll have Internet access most of the time. The road trip up should be fun what with the iPod, the Roady XT, and the Garmin Nuvi loaded with audio books on its SD card. All loaded into the big behemoth Nissan Armada we rented for the journey because we had SO MUCH STUFF to take, including a four-foot tall stuffed gorilla.

Don’t ask.
