Talking about blogging: Chicago’s BlogHer Conference

BlogHer '07 I'm  Speaking

We’re here!

For the next couple of days, I’ll be one of the speakers at the fabulous BlogHer blogging conference at the Navy Pier in Chicago, IL.

I’m on a Day One panel with talented musician Christine Kane and buff health enthusiast Carmen Staicer, who is also Mom to the Screaming Masses (don’t tell me you don’t have time to work out; she has six kids.)  We’re talking about ”finding and following your [blogging] passion.” 

There are still plenty of posts for me to write about our Midwest road trip to get here to Chicago, plus the city itself….we saw the fun musical “Wicked” the night we arrived and did the Chicago Architecture Foundation tour on the river yesterday.  Teenage daughter also checked out the Navy Pier yesterday while I did some conference stuff.

Never mind the posts that I still want to do about the Colonial Williamsburg area.  

Good thing I have plenty of writing fodder for the next few months.

What is about female Naval officers and Santa Fe trail ruts? I, too, went looking for them-just closer to Santa Fe! N.J. looks good in a cowboy hat…now if only she would smile.
Have fun at the conference-wish i could be there!

Hi nareed,

I think we Navy types are just interested in stuff in the dirt that sticks around for decades. You can’t put ruts into the ocean; they just don’t stay!

Thanks for visiting.

Hi Kara,

I thought Wicked was a lot of fun, and the character of “Glinda the Good Witch” was great — so treacly good but you still had to like her. Costumes and set design also spectacular.

Music was nice; many of the melodies were not that memorable for me, but my teenager loved them, especially the song about defying gravity.
