Back to Now

I was giving a presentation at the 2011 New-Fangled Blog Posters Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, saying that the only way to write a blog post is to imagine you are writing a letter to your dog, when suddenly I heard the crackle, pop, and snap of the time travel portal opening up.

The room disappeared as I fell into the time well. I passed a few people in the time-space passage way. We all waved high. There's something about time-travel that makes you friendly.

I found myself back at the convention in the midst of my blog posting talk. But I couldn't tell whether I had traveled to earlier or later in the talk. I told everyone that I had fallen into a time portal, and now I'm back, and, "Can you tell me what I just said?"

Someone said, "Is this an example of something that you would write to your dog?"

I thought about it and said, "Yes."
