\"\"In a few hours I’ll be on the road, bound for the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention<\/a>. On Thursday morning I’ll be giving a presentation about Today<\/em>, Home<\/em> and Tonight<\/em> with my friend Kevin Doherty. Also on the presentation schedule<\/a> is our friend (and author of a newly-published book!<\/a>) Mitchell Hadley<\/a>, who will be speaking about just why TV Guide<\/em> matters. There will be plenty of interesting presentations, a lot of celebrities on hand signing autographs (and I’m already planning to suspend my usual aversion to autograph collecting, because some of the celebrities on the program are worth suspending it for).<\/p>\n

Last year’s convention was my first<\/a>, and I had an awful lot of fun there. This year I’ll have more travel flexibility (I’m driving instead of flying…which, given the current weather situation, means I won’t have to worry about canceled flights) and will give myself a second day on site. I will, of course, post as I can from the convention and hope to provide a full report once I’m back home.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, if you’re in the Baltimore area, come see us bright and early Thursday morning. I think you’ll enjoy our presentation. And take some time to enjoy the whole convention. You will meet a lot of interesting people, most likely make some new friends, and you will find some cool stuff to buy. What’s not to like?<\/p>\n

:: On a personal note, it’s funny how exactly one year ago we were dealing with the remnants of Irma<\/a> here at Garroway at Large<\/em> World Headquarters, and now we await whatever Florence will bring. We are prepared here (my husband, who lived 30 years in Florida, knows a thing or two about hurricanes). But since we’re really far inland, we’re preparing more for remnants where we are. Our thoughts, of course, are with the people on the coast. Play it smart and stay safe, y’all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
