Folks; Thanks to everyone for a very pleasant and inspiring day up in Hannibal. Special thanks go to Henry and Regina for their hard work putting it together, and Bruce for managing the panel. Good turnout-- including a couple of attendees whom I would call somewhat colorful, especially Mark Twain himself!! (inside joke) ; ) The talks were very good, and I cannot rehash them much here except to say that some pioneering editor might like to gather some of these comments for posting in some illustrious journal. I personally got to thinking about a lot of things, and was edified by the proceedings. Maybe some of the others will read this and want to chime in on the Twain-LIST, for the edification of those unable to attend. The drive back down along the river and through Louisiana (MO), was quite nice. First we stopped at Lovers Leap [sic; no apostrophe on the signage]. We were moved by the sad tale of the Natives who evidently saw no other options for their star-crossed love, and thus plunged together to their demise. Quite a view of Hannibal and the river. Beyond that, are some more very lovely views overlooking the cliffs and river south of there. That road is called the Little Dixie Highway, by the way. I am not sure what to think of that, maybe Terrell Dempsey could enlighten us more about that one. We tried to feed some cows, but they gazed at us city-folk with great suspicion and possibly paranoid delusions. After about 10 futile minutes, we pitched our handfuls of grass at them and returned to the air-conditioning of my car. (Although they had no interest in our grass, they were definitely interested in each other). I especially enjoyed meeting the Missouri State Trooper about 30 miles north of Wentzville. The ticket was officially for staying too long in the left lane. I believe my students were amused by my driving acumen, which made it all worthwhile, of course. Anything for our students. That is the 2nd straight time I have gotten tagged going to or coming from Hannibal, which may explain my absence up in those parts in the foreseeable future. If anyone drives those roads, I advise doing it well within the laws of the state of Missouri and of the local magistrates, who are stubborn about such matters, unlike St. Louis City cops, who are relatively sanguine about such matters and treat traffic rules as they do in, say, Manila (if you have never witnessed traffic in the great city of Manila, take my word for it, it is not very good).
