Cokie Roberts made a very good point there. But still, we certainly didn't put the effort into the Unconference that we would have prior to having our little munchkins. :) Thanks Michael!

You should have heard Cokie Roberts at the PLA President's Program who said (and I believe it to be true) "Multitasking is a word that men invented to describe what women have been doing for centuries." This was right after she talked about how her mother cooked for her wedding and there were 3,000 guests. (At the time her father was the Congressman from New Orleans. He was later succeeded by his wife, Cokie's mom!) Of course it was successful, so many of us would have expected nothing less.

Hope the shoulder feels better soon! It was so great to chat with you at ALA, especially since we used your book for my Social Software and Web 2.0 class my final semester.
