Rob and I spent yesterday bumming around San Fransisco, interspersed with me doing drawings for a potential gig and prepping for the Nebula Nomination period to open at SFWA. The sweet boy has been endlessly patient with me. In the evening we joined the SF in SF group at Henry’s Hunan for dinner. It was […]

We spent a good chunk of yesterday and today emptying out our storage locker here in Portland and ferrying things down to McMinnville where a friend has a ginormous locker that he’s letting us put things in. Free! It was really bizarre looking through the locker as we’d forgotten what a lot of the contents

I’m up waiting for Rob to come home although there’s a chance that he won’t be home until tomorrow. Confused? He was driving back tonight from California, after driving there yesterday to drop off grapes. He thought he’d make it back by 12:30ish tonight but also thought he might stop and sleep instead. So, I’m

Aside from the fact that Rob keeps having to drive to California to deal with winery things, I think we are settling into Portland nicely. Through the magic of Skype, I spent two days reading the rest of Glamour in Glass to the folks back in the Puppet Kitchen. I’d gotten into the habit of

Rob had to drive down to Sacramento yesterday to pick up so FYB’s for City Winery and is on his way back up. We’ve realized that I can take the train down to Eugene to meet him. Then we can stay at a Bed and Breakfast and then spend tomorrow out in Oregon wine country

Because our friends rock, we were able to unload everything from the truck and get it into the apartment today. A hearty thank you to David, Kate, Aimee, Michael, Dave, Don, Yan, Eve, David, Ben, Rebecca, Taylor, Whitney, Bob, and Evan. After everyone had gone, Rob carried me across the threshold. In a fireman’s carry,
I believe we saw seven or eight apartments today. Only one of which were we both excited about. Of course, someone else is in line for it. Two of them would work as fall-back apartments. The rest were no goes. Workable, if we had to get something and get it now, but not otherwise. If

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July. Rob and I celebrated by going for a walk in Riverside Park. The weather was nearly perfect. We chose not to fight the crowds to see the fireworks and now, at 1:20 am we are still able to listen to them as various neighbors continue
Happy Fourth of July. Read More »
05:25 At the hospital with Rob for his left hand surgery. We got up at 4:20 am. Ugh. # 06:00 They’ve taken him back now for surgery, which they said starts at 7:30. I should see him “in 2 hours.” # 06:42 Very clever. I forgot to plug my computer in last night and the

They tell me that Rob is out of surgery, but I haven\’t been let up to see him yet. First they put him in the recovery ward while he\’s groggy. I really wanted to see him like that but, alas, not allowed.
We got up at 4:20 this morning and headed to the hospital for Rob’s hand surgery. He’s supposed to be the first patient on his surgeon’s schedule. We’ll see what that translates to in terms of actual time. He took his wedding ring off this morning and says that his hand feels strange without it.

I feel guilty because I haven’t been posting much lately, but at the same time, life has sort of narrowed down into things that aren’t very interesting. Or, rather, that aren’t very bloggable especially not after the flurry of props and puppetry posts. Yesterday was fairly low-key, largely because I spent the day hanging out
Today was fairly quiet. Rob had to work at the winery for the spring harvest, but just a partial day. We wandered up to the farmer’s market and then did a little bit of shopping for a show I’m working on. I tried calling my mom to wish her a happy mother’s day but she

13:34 Talking to Jodi who wonders if I am twittering. I wasn’t. Now I am. # 15:53 I guess this is a milestone… My ARC is on ebay. That was fast. # 16:30 I’m strangely nervous. I just invited about twenty people to play in SFWA’s new forums as a test run. I wonder how
