ALA SATURDAY
I slept in this morning and skipped the free breakfast I signed up for.
I went to my first committee meeting and it went pretty well. I'm in charge of unwrapping the awards for the IRRT Reception. I think I can handle it, I think :)
After my meeting I went to a program about the history of the song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". It was very interesting and we got free Baby Ruth candy bars. The speaker, Andy Strasberg, wrote a book about the song and there is supposed to be a new stamp coming out soon commemorating the 100th anniversary of the song.
I had a hard time finding someplace to go to lunch. This conference is too spread out. I wish they would have it in a denser populated area. All there is to eat are chain restaurants and hotel restaurants. Near the convention center there are like three restaurants and they were really crowded at lunchtime. So, I had to walk half a mile to find someplace there wasn't a huge line. Then I just went back to my room until it was time for the Emerald reception. My friend/former boss Penny took a ton of pictures of everyone while she was drinking. I think there are going to be some of me that I don't like on her flickr later. :(
I walked to through the exhibits a little before I tried to get lunch. I was feeling really really tired today so I gave up on that. I think I will feel less tired tomorrow.

Jetlag is Setting In, I think
It's my second night in California and I still feel like it's three hours later. So, I'm feeling really tired and waking up way too early.
This morning I went to this place called the Original Pancake House and I had a pancake that was more like an apple pie. It was really really good, but way too big. I actually craved salad at lunchtime after eating that.
I attended one meeting today, the OCLC Symposium. It was pretty good. I got a lot of inspiration from the speakers. Hopefully I will refer to my notes when I return to work. There is a lot of controversy in libraryland lately because there is a group of people who want to do away with everything old and on the other extreme there is the group that never wants to give up the old. I have seen that a lot in the last few conferences and it is getting pretty frustrating that people can't seem to find a middle ground, etc.
I decided I might as well go to Disneyland after I checked and found out that it is open until Midnight tonight. So, I got there at 5:30 and I was pretty tired by 10:30 and came back to the hotel. Their Cinderella Castle is way small. I like the one in Orlando much better. I loaded some pictures of the fireworks on my flickr page.
Tomorrow I have a pretty full day, but I'm looking forward to it.

Over-ripe Banana Recipes
I usually use my over-ripe banana's to make yogurt smoothies but my rubber thing in my blender broke. So, I had some and I decide to go back to the All-Bran web site and I found these muffins. They were really good. I think I'm going to be on a muffin kick for a while.
