Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Goin' Back to Cali

What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Goin' Back to Cali

This is a fab song. I hoped I'd be singing it someday. I never dreamed I'd be singing it so soon. I am so fortunate to be on an ALA committee this year. Part of being on the committee means going to the ALA Midwinter Conference in 2011. I thought for some reason it was Chicago, I do love Chicago, but I realized today it is in San Diego.

San Diego, as in San Diego, California. Yeah.

Wow.

Dude.

I can't believe it.

I feel so extremely blessed. Going to California, to a city I have never been to, for such a really important reason. Wow.
