The visit so far
On Sunday, Mom and I went over to visit Grandma. Besides looking forward to seeing my 101 year old grandmother, I was armed with a mission. At Orycon, someone (I’m sorry I’ve forgotten who) was talking about epidemics and how one couldn’t really interview people who had lived through the great Influenza epidemic. I realized
Shimmer Summer, 2006 review
Pam McNew just gave us a very lovely review on her website, My Love for You Is A Ruby, A Emerald, A Diamond In a Box Shimmer, Summer 2006. This was my first reading of Shimmer, a small zine of beauty. Shiny front and back cover with beautiful, and I want to say photoworkshopped, art.

In Chattanooga
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
And I’m off! Again!
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

Chattanooga bound
I will be in Chattanooga, TN from tomorrow until Thursday, November 30th. Drop me a line if you are within easy distance and want to get together.
In which Mary’s plans become uncertain
Rob and I had a good long talk this evening and he finally has the answer to our burning question. Would the company need him after the holidays? Sometimes the answer was yes, sometimes no. We got the official word, “No” today, which leaves us with the new burning question, “Do we go back to

Which tarot card are you?
You are The Lovers Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that’s actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor,

Ignoring Thanksgiving
I’m sitting at home, wearing one of my husband’s sweaters with all of the lights turned on in the house. I’ve heated some frozen vegetable gyozas for a snack and taken a break from writing to, well, write something else. There are many things to be thankful for, but my husband is far away and

Research, Writing and Etiquette
I’m having a ridiculously good time figuring out the seating chart for the dinner that Lady FitzCameron is throwing to celebrate the completion of the mural in her dining room. I collect etiquette books and every year throw a black-tie optional dinner party with place cards and everything. The rules for figuring out precedence or

Kill Henry Sugar
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
