Getting ready for a week away

I get to go be a writer for a week.  When you're balancing hats like I am (CIO/writer/futurist), getting a bit of a break to be any one of them alone for a week is a fine and rare treat.  I will be on the coast in Lincoln City, Oregon, with the dog, a pile of writer friends and teachers, and a few too many tourists.  I'll alternately work-shop and hide out.

Also of note for anyone around the Portland area, next Monday night (July 13th), I'll be at Powell's at Cedar Hills Crossing at a book launch
