Almost ready to fly

I finished up the last of the three class slide shows at lunch today. (Yay for laptops!) I actually only had to work on two of them, and one theoretically had been created before but somewhere along the way the PowerPoint file had lost the links to a 100+ images and they had to be re-inserted. Copied all the necessary class handouts yesterday (although I didn't do the fancy folded 11x17 version because I didn't want to deal with it). Tonight I only have to pack and -- if I feel like it -- do some prep work on the hands-on supplies for the Birka wirework class. I like not having to run around like a headless chicken the night before a trip. (If I wanted to create a time-crunch, I could decide that I have to get in a workout tomorrow before going to the airport, but I'm really not that crazy. Besides which, it would mean I wouldn't have time to take public transit to the airport and I really get off on that for some reason.)

And ... packed

I managed to get everything into the roll-away, class handouts, wire supplies, medieval clothing and all. (Hey, it's just for a weekend, why should this be difficult?) I hope the security folks have fun x-raying all the spools of wire and the braided demo pieces ... but not too much fun. Didn't get around to preping the class materials, but I have one period off before the class, so worst case I can do it then while hanging out. (Well, worst case is the students have to do their own, but since I'm combining the slide show and the hands-on, I'd rather not lose the time having them cut wire and wind it on spools and whatnot.) Now I just have to flip a coin on whether to take the raincoat (not as warm) or wool coat (not water-resistant). The web says Seattle might even get snow Saturday.
