Mom, that sounds like a wonderful next step in your life. I'm going to start sending my files off to smart women. Actually, I sort of am- I'm doing my best to have all my files online for the folks who come after me.
Currently, I'm eating and sleeping this Austin meeting; it kills me to think that I've spent four months on four days that will arrive in nine. It's ridiculous how I put my hopes in tiny things like bringing people together in the same hotel to talk to each other. My old supervisor would say that introducing people to each other is the most radical thing we can do... so either I'm about to bring on a brilliant revolution or tumble into civil war. Hey, it's not my job to define what kind of change we'll bring about. I'm just a VISTA.

I'm spending a beautiful Sunday morning finishing the agenda and briefing book for the VISTA meeting at the end of the month. Work has been fantastic and frantic as I iron out the final details for Austin. Tomorrow I'm heading out the Williamstown to facilitate a community partnership development workshop, then to Smith to be on a "women's narratives of success" panel. The coordinators of the panel are obvioulsy looking for alternative narratives of success, for when I let them know that I'm still hovering at the poverty line, they said that they wanted me anyway. Hey, I'll get fed and boarded at the Hotel Northampton, which is good enough for me!

The new year brought a cold snap to the ocean state, and I could just barely fight my way to work this morning. Fortunately, I still have Dick's Polish army jacket, lovingly re-lined by Seraph for my first New England winter at Smith five years ago. To think that I sent in my graduate school application to Minnesota yesterday. On a cheerier note, the mileage reimbursement rate has increased by two cents, so I'm planning a cross-country VISTA tour in my final months here. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
