Mr. Papsdorf Goes to Washington

Just thought I would let you all know that if you're looking for something fun and exciting in our nation's capital this weekend I could probably sneak you into "Christ's Descent to the Dead in the Early Latin Church: The Eternal Fate of Those Who Died before Christ."

Yes, that's right, yours truly will be discussing the doctrine of Christ's descent to the dead as it developed in early Latin Church at the AAR meeting in Washington D.C. this Saturday. Now for those of you who aren't excited by the prospect of discussing obscure doctrines from the 5th century the AAR is also the place to hear about the latest developments in feminist, post-colonial interpretations of just about anything and breaking news in Wicca studies, so a good time can be had by all. (I'm sure Lincoln and Rob would be enthralled.)

So, if any of you happen to be in the neighborhood trying cases before the Supreme Court (Kevin), lobbying for looser regulations in the biomedical field (Dan), or trying to sell confused tourists Abraham Lincoln's car (Willis), let me know. Otherwise, I'll try to sneak into some really funny papers so I can post some fun synopses next week.

That is all.

P.S. Reva, Caleb, Jill, etc., are doing fine.

If they aren't talking about purchase price variance or overhead allocation drivers, my eyes will just glaze over... If they are, I'm sure I'll be enthralled.

Mmmmmmm, Wicca-licious.

I would not lobby for looser regulation of medical devices. I'm appalled at the accusation. That's like confusing a purchase price variance for an overhead allocation driver.

Yes, Lincoln and Laura were kind enough to show this simple midwesterner around the big city for the evening. I must admit that getting up for 7:00 Mass the next morning after a few more beers than I'm used to was a bit of a challenge to say the least. The paper went well, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to hear any really crazy ones. Maybe Kevin could post something for a similar effect of confusion and amusement?
