What a cool idea.

Thanks, WFKG–you’re the best. We found out only later last week something that you knew about at least 3 days in advance–the Big 10 news for QTU. (Was that it?)

She’s plugged in, man.

We’ll have to all meet in Washington next year–Undine and Lance included, of course! (Maybe we should even plan a blogger meetup–something that might be easier to plan in DC than in SJ.)

Oh Historiann — what a delightful post and I must say that I can’t think of a better Thanksgiving gift than your WWMD comment. I’m bowled over, in fact. You Fab Four were the best panelists ever, and as I’ve said–there’s a book waiting to be published with your contributions. And. . .now I know that if you balk all I have to do is say, “WWMD!”

What fun it was to spend time with y’all — I learned so much and laughed so much and came back to a grueling couple of days at Queer the Turtle U all refreshed, brimming with intellectual pleasure and pride that got me through a difficult couple of days. Here’s hoping you’re having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, and here’s wishing we were drinking mojitos this evening.

WWMD? She’d be hanging out with Historiann this evening, having built a nice big roaring fire here in the People’s Republic of Takoma. muchas gracias, and here’s to a most stimulating book on blogging as pedagogy and the beginning of a lifelong friendship! xxooxxoo

This sounds like the most fabulous ASA conference ever, and that picture tells the story of why it was so fabulous. Where, oh where, were the participants of yesteryear–brown-clad participants with worried faces? Banished by poolside mojitos, that’s where.

To the pile of Things We Left in San Juan let me add two bottles of ridiculously expensive hair products. You can’t tell from the photo on this post, but I spend an inordinate amount of time and money trying to get both strands of my hair to look good. Ah, the things we do for beauty.

I have more than 200 Twitter followers, though I rarely do anything but pimp my blog posts. Of course, now that GayProf is there, I may get more active. Super heroes make everything more fun.

Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving. I caught Goose’s cold and have taken to bed, with that special feeling sort of like having one’s head in a vise. Good times.

I am so sorry to have missed this conversation. In the end, we were four travelling together. A lot of moving parts. I did look everywhere for you, but without the boots, you were unrecognizable.

And I have to say, despite the enormous bar tab (for pina coladas, not mojitos), this was a very productive conference. I got a lot done and – unlike, say the OAH in Milwaukee – I was able to actually enjoy the doing it all.

And, lastly, the trolls on TR’s website are just plain nasty.

I’ve been wondering about that, because “Historiann is on Twitter” always comes up now when I look for the blog, followed by “Historiann has not tweeted yet.” Which made me think that maybe somebody *had*, in fact, tweet-napped you. *Not*-tweeting on a platform like Twitter is itself a powerful example of the mini-rant as an art form. I mean, I don’t tweet either, non-stop, but who would know or care? Plus, it always keeps you safely under the 140 character limit and out of foul trouble. I’d like to know how many of Mark Cuban’s tweets have bounced because he double-dribbled and stumbled over the limit while calling out some idiot referee.
