Coming from the west coast, one of the things that I most love about very many NAVSA conferences is getting a real taste of fall (yes, I know, next year we'll be in Pasadena, which won't be quite the same). It was a glorious sunny day today - caught in panels, I barely saw it, alas, but did manage to wander into the hotel gardens during the afternoon break, and not just look around, but down into Rock Creek Park.
And here's our very own Anna Flinchbaugh, doing USC's Art History department proud, talking about women's embroidery workshops and collaborative work.
For anyone anxious for a Moth bulletin: she has tooth resorption - which basically means that that odontoclast cells have started to attack her teeth and replace dental material with inflammatory granulation tissue - that is, her teeth are crumbling from below. So no wonder one broke ... it apparently would/could have happened at any time (I want to let Gramsci, rambunctious boy though he is, off the hook, here). It's not certain, until she has dental imaging, how many others may be affected, too. Poor Mothy. She may have tooth ache - we don't know. I feel for her: her dental problems are, in feline terms, as bad as mine (and probably proportionately just as expensive, too ...). She'll certainly need extractions.
