I did manage to sleep for most of the first flight, which is good since the second flight contained a child who screamed the entire flight. I believe we had ten minutes of silence. Other than that, I arrived with a minimum of fuss and we are now off for dinner at my cousin Marsha’s
I’m sitting in the airport waiting for the plane to Atlanta. I’ll change there and go to Chattanooga. Even though Orycon was in Portland, I feel as if I’ve been traveling for weeks. Last night I had trouble sleeping and wound up not going to bed until 2:30. Ridiculous, since I had to get up

After Orycon, I went to see Dean play in Kill Henry Sugar. If you didn’t buy their album the last time I said they were fantastic, you should go do it now. Richard A. Lovett took me up on the invitation to go to their gig. Before the show, he asked me “What kind of
More than survived, really. I had a great time, although I was a little stressed juggling some transit issues. Rob and I had made the decision before going to Iceland, that we would sell the car and try being carless when we came back. What this weekend has taught me is that carless is fine
