One of the reasons I enjoy knitting socks is that they are portable and you can take one with you almost anywhere.  Like when you are sitting at a booth at the AWP Conference, for example.

Today was the last day of the conference.  I spent some time at the booth, and then Alisha and her family picked me up at the convention center and she and I got to talk and have lunch and hang out as friends do.  It was as if we’d known each other forever.

Tomorrow is our last day in Minneapolis.  So far, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.  I’d always heard about Minneapolis being a cool city, and it’s true.  I’m already thinking about coming back next year.
