Coming soon! TAGT Conference

I off to Dallas this week for a three day conference for the teachers of gifted and talented students.  I always enjoy this conference because I usually learn a lot.  Some conferences simply rehash the same old stuff or present "new" ideas I've been using for years.  The TxGifted conference is different.  There are innovative ideas, practical stuff for impractical people, networking opportunities, and a chance to meet with people who actually understand what I do, because they do it, too!  It's great to find out you're not the only oddball out there.  I love meeting people smarter than me...and there are a LOT of them there.

This year I'm staying with my sister Connie and her husband Jim and taking the DART rail to the conference downtown.  The big worry I'm having is my back.  I've been having problems lately and I don't want to get at bunged up while there.  I also have to leave the conference early one day for an appointment with my spinal surgeon's physiologist (?).  More driving which is not good for me.  Oh, well-  I'll keep you posted here on my daily progress.

After "Willy Wonka" was over, Kathy and I took 4 days and hit Galveston.  It was a super relaxing time. No plans.  No interruptions.  No hassles.  We walked and ate and sat and breathed.  Thanks to Beth and Brian Dill for the last use of their seawall condo before closing on its sale.
