Californiacation redux

I’ll be in San Diego on Saturday to present a paper at the Western Economics Association conference. So if you’re in the area and you’ve been stricken with a case of seemingly-incurable insomnia, come on down, I’ll see what I can do to help.

I’m like a decapitated chicken at the moment. I knew that we were presenting a paper, but I did not know that doing so entailed my giving an oral presentation, which I haven’t done in, let’s see, three years. Naturally, I just found out about this requirement today, leaving me one day to put the whole presentation together and rehearse it in front of my bathroom mirror, which will be necessary since I’ve taken to swearing like a stevedore in the course of day-to-day conversation ever since I started working from home.

Maybe I’ll put the slides online. Not sure if I can do that without violating my self-imposed veil of anonymity.
