Well, CCCCs here I come…rrr…actually not until tomorrow morning. I’ve still got to finish packing, but it’s about time to call it a night.

I’m quite excited about our panel and the labor caucus meeting for sure. I’m also going to be playing around with blogging and podcasting from the CCCCs. Blogging for sure. Podcasting if I can get things up and running without too much hassle. So, stay tuned. Hopefully I’ll be able to cajole Amy, Mysti, Moe, Seth, Rachel, and others to post a little to our comp/rhet blog as well.

In the meantime, here’s what I’m looking forward to:
