I have arrived in Keystone, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains
near Denver, for the
Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (aka GHC 2008).
It was an uneventful trip. On the flight from San Francisco, I sat next
to a pleasant woman who wore a silver leather jacket and more
sparkley jewelery and clothes than I have ever seen on one person.
Everything, even her glasses and shoes, had sparkles.
Flying over the mountains, there were big patches of yellow rust color
that the pilot said were aspens wearing their autumn leaves.
It was dark when we arrived but I am looking forward to seeing
the mountains in the sun tomorrow.
Tanya Jankot and I were on the same flight. We had dinner at the
Denver airport, then took the
shuttle to Keystone. There were so many women headed for Hopper
that they had to call for a second van. Our driver said it was his
4th trip of the day. I teased him that some men would be happy
to be on a two hour van trip with eleven women but he said he had
four older sisters so he expected to be picked on.
Tanya and I will be setting up the Sun table in the exhibit hall
tomorrow after lunch. I hope that all of our stuff has arrived
in good shape. My daughter
Jessica arrives tomorrow morning.
