New York state of mind.

I'm heading to New York tomorrow morning for a short getaway. I anticipate a frosty but fun weekend, including quality time with my grandmother and get-togethers with a few great friends whom I don't see nearly often enough.

But most exciting, the real premise for my trip is to join a motley horde of deaf and hard-of-hearing lawyers that will be descending en masse upon the Big Apple starting later tonight. I can't wait to finally meet "in the flesh" these folks who have become, over the course of many months of near-daily discussion, my dear friends and an important part of my support system.

Trip report to follow early next week!
