My talk in Dodge City went well, though I may be nearing the end of my fly in one day, talk one day, fly out next day trips. It's tiring. To get to Dodge City you have to fly over it, to Denver, and then back. This airport is teeny. It has one gate, one employee, and one TSA person. It also has free wifi as did the Boot Hill Bed and Breakfast where I stayed. I'm pretty sleepy and the throat tickle hasn't abated entirely but neither has it gotten worse which is some sort of victory. My photos of Kansas are up on Flickr. I got to walk around a bit during sunset and look at some old buildings in the downtown area. Tonight I get to DC where I'll be hanging out with Mary Early, a pal of Forrest and Kelly's who I just met. She makes beeswax scultures. I get on the train Sunday and will be back by Sunday evening. I'd like to say "and then I'll sleep for a week" but actually I'll teach a few classes and then drive down to suburban NY to give a talk on Library 2.0 stuff. Then maybe the week-o-sleeping will commence.
I made a little movie about the train ride down. I sat on the "wrong" side of the train which is the side that doesn't face the Hudson River. It's definitely a less dramatic view, but I found there was some nice stuff to look at anyhow.
