Tired....

The RBMS preconference is now history and I am tired. Not that I did that terribly much to make it happen -- but I don't usually spend that much time out and on my feet. One of the drawbacks of working at home, I guess: a full week of being elsewhere every day AND every evening is incredibly draining.

So today I am....contemplating all those pictures that I took and planning which ones will be edited and uploaded to Flickr.

I can't imagine what it must be like to go directly to the RBMS preconference to the ALA conference in DC, which starts today or tomorrow.

(Acronym expansion: RBMS is the Rare Book and Manuscript Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, itself a division of the American Library Association. ALA is the American library association. I dream of Philadelphia some day hosting the full ALA meeting, but to date we don't have enough hotel rooms to accommodate the hordes that descend on the conference city.)

Roy Orbison / Hildegard von Bingen

Okay, I am going to have to work hard to wrap my head around this one. David Lynch, of Blue Velvet fame, has produced a song by Roy Orbison (In Dreams) and an entire CD of the music of Hildegard von Bingen.
