This is where I whine that Raleigh is a smidge too far from me in VA to make a casual trip, and I can't quite justify taking time off from work just to try to meet a famous blogger who doesn't know me from Adam.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy NC, though!
When are you bringing Schuyler to DC or Baltimore? Imagine that child at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum (where the dinosaurs are)... She would love it!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very impressive -- I wish that you could could come out to Los Angeles and do a talk here. I always feel panic when I think about AAC/AT and my daughter -- like I haven't pushed it enough, done it enough, worked on it enough, etc. I just feel like the ball was dropped long ago in the school system and I just can't seem to summon the energy to pick it up. What I need is a kick in the ...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Schuyler have school? Christine, I'm from DC/Balto. You into activism? Always looking for people who don't think I'm weird...
ReplyDeleteYou have to try som good EASTERN NC BBQ.... Nothin' like it, trust me, a native E. N. Carolinian! So close, wish I could make it!
ReplyDeletesounds great. good luck, and enjoy the chaos.
ReplyDeleteglad to have a chance to meet you ans Schuyler at the Conference. Always good that speaks my language.
ReplyDeleteI don't have twitter so I can't use the twitter response function. I wanted to ask you about this.
ReplyDelete"TSA agent gave Schuyler a hard time because she couldn't verbally answer "What's your name?" at security check."
I don't think I've ever been asked for my name by TSA. They just look at documents.
Does she not have ID? Do they ask kids that?
Maybe I'm being asked and don't remember it.
I can't believe I missed out on meeting you, or trying to meet you. Truly, I must get out more. Why, you could have come up to Ye Olde Wake Foreste and marvelled at our compete and utter lack of things to do!
