Schussman.com: Sailing, er, Flying to Philadelphia

The outbound portion of my itinerary not yet scuttled, I leave tomorrow for the ASA annual meeting in Philadelphia. Sociologists as far as the eye can see. A couple of years ago I took some notes on surviving these sorts of things; we’ll see how things go this time around. I do see from the forecast that it’s shaping up to be exactly the kind of weekend that makes me dread being a pedestrian lugging a briefcase from my affordable hotel to the convention palace:

Can’t these things be held somewhere arid once in a while?

update: PS, confidential to the dry cleaners: Really nice job with the crease on those khaki pants. Too bad they’re supposed to be flat. How to find me in Philly? I’ll be the one with the sharply-creased flat-fronted khaki pants.

Looking at the annual meeting archives, I notice that the meetings have never been held in San Diego, but with meetings in Los Angeles and Anaheim they can hardly claim that they just didn’t know about Southern California.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for next year in Montreal, which will be in the high 70s over the weekend.

I dunno about Montreal. I think I’m with Lago on the issue of two cross-country trips in a row being sort of undesirable.

OK, a new blog is up, if interested…
