My southern stepdaughter tutored my friends last year in the art of southern leavetaking. “Fixin’ ta go” was a central phrase in that tutorial—since then, it’s become a symbol of drawn-out, sociable preparations for departure around here. (Weez even uses it as one of her AIM away messages…)
At any rate, I’m fixin’ ta go to Santa Clara tomorrow morning, to attend (and speak at) Supernova. I leave Rochester at 8:15am, change planes in Chicago, and arrive in San Jose around 12:40pm. I’ve downloaded a slew of entertaining audiobooks from Audible.com to amuse me en route. Still on the to-do list are backing up the computer, finishing laundry, and packing.
See you in sunny California…
