What is it about us humans and directions? For so many, in the old days without GPS, we’d drive around trying to find a place.

Washington Walkabout
I’ve been in Washington, D.C. the past few days for work. There wasn’t a lot of time to see the town, but found a little time yesterday to take a quick walk.

Conference Rejuvenation
This week is the ESEA Conference in Indianapolis. I’m glad it is here because I can sleep in my own bed every night, but also sad it is here because I already know this city.
