I got home shortly after midnight with much relief. My flight out of Minneapolis boarded about ten minutes late, delayed first because we had no flight attendants. Their flight out of Atlanta had been delayed due to weather so they were racing to get to us. Since this flight was also very full they offered […]

I’m in Minneapolis until 9:15 tonight. My flight from Madison — which I actually boarded — was delayed taking off but not badly. When we were approaching Minneapolis however, we started circling after they told us that we were ready for final descent. Eventually they explained that they were having problems with the hydraulics and

My flight out today was also oversold, so I volunteered to be bumped again. Really, this is not a hardship because Madison is a pleasant place to spend time and I have plenty of portable work with me. Plus, may I say that travel vouchers come in really handy when you consider how much time

And lo! Still I am in Madison. My flight was oversold so I volunteered to be bumped. I travel enough that those credit vouchers come in veeeeerrrry handy. My flight out isn’t until tomorrow morning so I’m hanging out, getting some writing done and just generally pretending that I’m on that thing I’ve heard people
Wiscon was great fun and, as usual, I met a load of people. I’m currently staying one night longer than I had planned because there are storms in the midwest. I had a choice of being stranded in at the airport or staying an extra night. Clearly, hanging out in Madison is preferable.

I have just arrived in Madison after taking a red-eye here involving stopping in Detroit and Cincinnati. The flight out of Portland was overbooked and they had to check some carry-on bags through to the final destination. Mine was one of them. Tired and grungy, I took a shower when I got here and discovered

I’m sitting in the Detroit Airport waiting for my flight back from Penguicon. It was great fun which, as usual, left me a bit fatigued. I was going to blog but am just past the point where I’m willing to spend $13 for internet access at a hotel. Smart phones, you know, I can keep

I have safely arrived in Troy, MI for Penguicon and will shortly turn in but I just had to tell you about this one thing. My plane was flown by Captain Kirk. Is there a better transportation to an SF convention? I think not.

I’m flying out to Penguicon today and will be having a whole slew of fun-filled adventures while I’m there. I’m taking a red-eye so I won’t actually arrive until EARLY Friday morning. Here’s my schedule while I’m there. Friday Author Reading – 6pm Three authors for the price of one! Cherie Priest, Mary Robinette Kowal,

I had a good time at Norwescon but am happy to be home. When I left the hotel, the winds were quite buffeting, so I opted to take the light rail into Seattle. Gee, that’s easier than the ride to the con. Amtrak was lovely, as always. I splurged on business class (ooo $15 more)

I got in last night around 11:00 and Rob came out to the airport to greet me. I have missed him terribly. Coming home was so strange because the season turned while I was away, a fact particularly emphasized by spending the last week in snowy Grand Haven. Here cherry trees are in bloom and

I’m sitting in the airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan waiting for my flight home. I’ve been on the road for a month and last night Rob said the sweetest words to me. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I’ve been gone longer than this before, but we usually know that I’ll be gone for months and you

I think I should probably acknowledge that while SFWA hasn’t had any significant impact on my writing life, it does cut into the blogging pretty severely. Not that I don’t have time so much as that I don’t have the inclination as much. Some of it also is that I feel like my life is
I’m heading out of Grand Haven today, driving to Grand Rapids and then catching flights to Chicago, Charlotte and Chattanooga. See you later.
