Long couple of weeks. Much fun. Dragonet has her new leg, and it works. Slowly catching up on the intertubes.

But me, I'm headed there today. It's an "All Hands" meeting for the upcoming World Science Fiction Convention, Chicon 7. And since I'm a moron Division Head, I must needs be there. We will be leaving sometime around 1p, and getting there late tonight.

No big item like last year's duster, but got a couple of pairs of jeans for $3 each. And back to the packing and prepping for the trip. See yz on the flip side. But first, some bad news. As I put it on FB last night: "It's always a bad thing when you get an email with nothing but a friend's name in the subject line. Kd Wentworth died today from complications of pneumonia while battling cervical cancer. She was a fine author, a tireless advocate for writers (served way too long as a regional director for SFWA), and a fan (helped found Conestoga in Tulsa). It was always great to see her, and hear her call me "Reverend Jim" in her sexy Oklahoma drawl (hers was sexy, not the rest of you Okies). Not right, not fair; in other words, life. Farewell, Kathy. You will be missed." Take care of yourselves, people.
