dork alert.
jenny and i went to the national conference on the social studies today (and we get to go back tomorrow) and it was glorious. i went to five sessions today: using technology to teach presidential elections, international humanitarian law and guantanamo bay, constitutional law and georgia cases, muslim perspectives in film, and deliberations on hate speech. you should be jealous, because it was awesome. jenny and i went to the conference two years ago when it was in san diego - much more exciting than downtown atlanta, but we're happy to go back again. we spent all of lunch talking about the cool classes we'd been to and planning out which ones we'd go to in the afternoon and tomorrow. we love history, and there were lots of us history sessions (for jenny) and government sessions (for me).
in one of the above mentioned classes we were given a bunch of words and asked to identify them. while i didn't know a lot of the terms, i was one of the only people who could identify "bagram" - where it is, what it is, and how it related to the topic at hand. bonus dork points to any blog reader who can do the same without looking it up.
I have never seen it in print (that I know of), but when I say it out loud it sounds like the the military base in afghanistan they talke about on NPR all the time.
