This weekend the librarians leave the library to attend the American Library Association Mid-Winter Conference in Seattle.  I will be at the SCBWI booth–so all you librarians, I’ll see you there.

It is also the weekend for the Future Cities Competition at Seattle Center. Teams of three students, from all over the state of WA., imagine, desgin and engineer a city of the future. I’ve been helping a middle school team of three boys design the city of Enceladus, located on the ice moon of Saturn. It has an active water volcano providing all kinds of interesting opportunities for energy innovations: fuel cells, geothermal and even fusion, and imagine the view! Science fiction story anyone?

Happy wedding wishes go out to Mr. Timothy Grassley and Jennifer White.
