Looks like I am heading to Dallas in the middle of December. Once I realized the annual Groton girls' squash play day was canceled this year, I am now free to attend the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association convention. I leave Friday night and return to Connecticut midday Monday. It will pretty much be an exclusively work-related trip, however: most of my weekend will be spent sitting in banquet halls attending a series of four-hour classes for professional development credit.
