Why is it when you mention going to a conference at a five-star resort people smirk and whisper "boondoggle", nodding knowingly? Our annual conference was held over the weekend at the Salishan Spa and Resort and it was fun, informative, and inspiring. And not much time for boondoggling. The federal update was a bit, er, overwhelming: 1200 pages of new legislation and a 200 page Dear Colleague letter issuing guidance. My presentations went fine, although I'm exhausted from fretting over them. And an added bonus ... a Sticks and String networking session was offered for the first time, allowing fellow knitters to have an organized time to get together. Helen showed me how to knit two socks simultaneously on a circular needle and I can't wait to try this technique. I have never knit socks because I feel so awkward when I use double pointed needles. Note to self: Must finish baby blankets first. Matt's and Amy's baby shower is the 10th. I really don't think I want to live anywhere else in the world. I've often thought it would be fun to live in Billings, Montana ... or maybe even Helena. But no. I could never be more than a two hour drive from the beach. I love the beach at any time of year, but today was perfection: sunny, warm, and no wind. In February. I love Oregon.
