[BTW: Owing to a death in my family, I had to cancel my participation in CMC-North this year.]
CMC-North a/k/a Asilomar is on us and my expectations are impossibly high. I’m not heavy into conference-going so take this for what it’s worth but CMC-North is my favorite meet-up of educators all year.
Here’s where I’ll be Friday through Sunday. If you’re going, drop a line in the comments. If you spot an omission in my schedule, drop a line in the comments. The indented bullets reflect a back-up session in case my primary turns into a snooze or a pitch for Scientology or something.

And, yeah, I can’t freaking believe they counter-programmed me against Steve Leinwand, who has never disappointed whenever he’s turned up on my conference schedule. If you’re flipping a coin between the two of us, watch this and pick Steve. On the off chance I start boring myself, I’ll see you there.
