item inventory as i wait to board

Posted by: K. Mahoney in Uncategorized

I’m sitting here in Lehigh Valley airport in Allentown waiting to board the first leg of my trip to San Francisco. I was reminded why I chose to fly out of LV and not Philly: no waiting in line, free WiFi, and a calm waiting area. This is the way I want to start off my day–especially if I have to be in a plane for this long.

I decided to go through my carry-ons just to see what I actually brought. Here’s the main inventory:

camera
lots of pens
notebooks
union contract
conference schedule
laptop (obviously)
web cam
headset
books
- Democracies to Come (shameless, I know)
- Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinski
- Don’t Think of an Elephant, by George Lakoff
- Academic Collective Bargaining , ed. Ernst Benjamin and Michael Mauer
- Rhetoric: A User’s Guide, by John Ramage
- Emergent Publics, by Ian Angus
- Communists Like Us, by Toni Negri and Felix Guattari
- Writing Permitted in Designated Areas Only, by Linda Brodkey
June 2008 issue of CCC

Yes, that’s actually what’s in my bags.
