Of course, I'm not going to say that I get as psyched up to go to Topeka or Wichita as I do to go to Boston or Monterey, but really, I learn something or am inspired by something at every conference I go to--including KLA. I'll admit that Kansas is an acquired taste. Extreme weather. Subtle landscapes. But mysteries and beauty abounds. And I've never been anywhere where people care more about their communities, and isn't that what libraries are all about? The more you know, the more you know. And good karma is its own reward. ;) It was great to see you at KLA this year even though you have a packed speaking schedule this spring.
