Clouds to the Left of Me, Clouds to the Right

Finished fine-tuning my cloud-parallactic contribution to a roundtable at the CCCC in Atlanta later this week. We forecasters are predicting a sitting-room (i.e., entire row to yourself?) crowd for N.30 session, 12:30-1:45 p.m. on Saturday. As for the fine-tuning, I'm pleased enough with the changes, and I had to work especially hard to resist incorporating more than a cliche or two from Stealers Wheel, e.g., "Trying to make some science of it all, but I can see it makes no science at all." Yes, the paper is--it's hard to believe--better because I axed a half-dozen lines like this from it.

And in case you can't make it to N.30, maybe because you are at the Braves-Phillies game, the good news is that we can catch up on Thursday in the poster galleria, Room M301, Marquis Level, between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., where I'll be standing quietly next to my first ever attempt at an academic poster. For the full poster experience, it's best if you pre-install a QR code-scanning app on your mobile device.
