We’re in Duluth\/Superior for a librarians conference, the Lake Superior Libraries Symposium<\/a>, held Friday June 1. It was the first one and it was a pretty good library conference. Some good sessions, good keynoter<\/a>, and ubiquitous wifi because it was held at a Community College<\/a>. And that also meant that there was a never ending supply of homemade donuts with the coffee. The taco bar that they set out for lunch was OK – as one of the organizers said, the salsa was Norwegian style, mild and very mild – somebody at my table said it tasted more like barbecue sauce. I used some of the Siracha that they had put out for chile lovers, instead.<\/p>\n

Nice after party at a Brew pub, the Thirsty Pagan<\/a>. Really the only downside is the construction on the bridges that’s making going back & forth from Duluth to Superior a little harder depending on the time of day – but it’s not real traffic gridlock, like in a big city – it’s Northern WI traffic jams that last 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

After the brewpub, we went to see Snow White & the Huntsman<\/a> – leaving our exchange student to work on end-of-the-school year stuff in the hotel. She had decided that she’d rather skip the potentially hokey senior class party – none of her friends was going – and come with us to see more of America. I think the movie was our de rigour<\/em> action flick for the summer. The main thing I couldn’t get over was how much smaller Chris Hemsworth looks when he’s not playing Thor. We went and collected the kid and got some pizza<\/a> after the movie.<\/p>\n

Slept way in this morning, and now doing a little catchup at the Caribou – finally got the bootcamp schedule updated and emailed an invite to faculty. Time to go collect the kid again and take her hiking, to see more of America. I think we’re going to\u00a0Tettegouche State Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n
