One More Detour on the Writing Road

I hate packing. Advice isn't going to help, so please don't. The only thing worse is unpacking and putting all the various bits away.

Sorting what I want to take to NADWcon. Second load in the dryer. Reconciling the desire to pack every neat piece of clothing I own with the realization that I will likely live in jeans.

Therefore, concentrating on nice shirts. A couple of neat jackets. Shoes are limited due to my stupid feet, unfortunately--or fortunately, given how much room they take up in a suitcase.

I am driving up, so it really doesn't matter if I overpack or not. But I'm trying to be reasonable. I figure it's good practice.

Mostly for the female half of the workforce. Guys wear black shoes. Black shoes make sense to me. I *like* black shoes. But I commit fashion faux pas on a daily basis. This is why I create polls and throw the question open to the house.
