CCCC in Atlanta with Mary

April 6-10, Mary and I met in Atlanta for the Conference on College Composition and Communication, fondly known as CCCC, or 4Cs, or just Cs. Imagine 3000 English teachers in a downtown Marriott, passionately debating the best ways to teach writing. I really love it --no sarcasm :) It was so fun to share this energizing experience with my own daughter. I now understand why you hear so often that dads want their sons to follow in their footsteps. It is fun to share the professional part of your life with someone you love.




On Saturday we joined friends Kristine Hansen, Danette Paul, and Debbie Dean to tour the Martin Luther King Historic site. This is the Ebenezer Church where he and his father preached.


We had great grits, fried chicken, cat fish, peach cobbler, and yes, waffles at Gladys Knights restaurant.


This is the view from the glass elevator going down the center of the hotel. Dizzying.
