Great news this weekend--my dad gets to go home on Tuesday! I know that both he and my mom are more than ready to have him back. He is still not back 100% to where he was before he got sick, but he is able to get up himself and get around, even if it's with difficulty, and so he can finish recovery at home. I'm very happy he's leaving the rehabilitation place--despite everyone's best efforts it was an institution and he hated it.
Mom's not sure if and when she will be coming to visit, but depending on how things go at home she may still come, which would also be nice. Hopefully she can make it before all the Everglades tours and accomodations close for the summer.
Michael and I have just returned home from the FLA annual conference in Jacksonville. Despite some organizational glitches, and being forced by Nova to stay in a cheap, horrendous hotel, things went pretty well. We hosted our roundtables on Tuesday afternoon, which were fairly well attended. We also got to go to a few interesting sessions on Florida digital collections and wireless reference services. We also found some time to relax the last night--we took a side trip to the Jacksonville Five Points historic district, ate at a funky little streetside Mexican restaurant that had 2-for-1 margaritas and really good food, and did some shopping. Not a bad trip all told.
I would write more but we're about to close down for the day...so....later.
