CNY Conference

Blog’s been nagging me for an entry.  Okay, so it’s Friday
afternoon.  I picked up 37 seven-page essays with invention portfolios this
morning. (Mercy Closeme! Quite a
stack.) And after reading yet another 100 pages in Lakoff’s Moral Politics
this afternoon, I’m worn down tired. Damn near too tired to climb in the Element
and zip south for VV‘s talk in Cortland at the CNY
Conference on Language and Literature
this evening at 7:30 p.m. Key-note.
For illustration’s sake, the photo right shows just how close I am to not going.
But for the open-ness of a still narrow margin.  I’ll try to blog a
few notes about it later, provided I can find Corey Union. 

The theme for the conference is "Haunted by the Future: The Academy’s
Coming Community."  No better way to convene Hallowe’en weekend.
