Doing some reading for a show I'm considering pitching for next season at one of my local community theaters (Sondheim's Assassins) and realized an odd fact: Right now, every living attempted Presidential assassin (there are three) is NOT in jail. All of them are out on parole: Squeaky Fromme, Sara Jane Moore, and John Hinkley, Jr.

@adr It had a brief hiccup, evidently, when I tried updating the Wordpress. Seems ok now?

Spent the week running the scholarly publishing/research/standards conference that I chair and direct. It’s always fantastic to see the effort come to fruition, but I don’t think I breathed for three days.

600 people from 30 different countries, 55 sessions, 4 keynotes, 2 social events, 140+ speakers in three days.
