In a few hours, I’ll be leaving for LaGuardia Airport (groan) to catch a flight to Nashville, where I’m attending the annual meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures.
This is one of my favorite gatherings because the schedule is full of policy sessions on topics ripped-from-the-headlines. But the real genius of this year’s conference is that I’ll get a chance to check out the tribute to “The Genius” at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, “I Can’t Stop Loving You: Ray Charles and Country Music.”
Given the fluid (no pun intended) carry-on restrictions, I’m not taking my laptop. So, this is my last post until I return to New York. In the meantime, I’ll be hanging out conducting my usual field research, as well as here and here.
