Then, there was the mother of all headaches. It kept Catherine home from work, it kept Catherine off the computer. At 2 o'clock, she stumbled into town, her husband driving, to pick up AV equipment for the convention tomorrow. She got on line tonight, and worked some, because it was a costly day she took [...]

Sorry about the quiet. I've been working on, you know, the Write-a-thon. I've also had to sew a quick shrine maiden outfit for the anime convention I'm helping with this weekend. Yes, it has been a long time since I've sewn. I had forgotten how to thread the machine. In my defense, it was a [...]

Please let me know if I've missed any very important events in the last 3 days or so. I'm surfacing for a moment to catch up, but don't have time to read 5 days worth of stuff. We took a trip up to the Decorah Nordic Fest on Saturday with our friends Mark and Michelle, [...]

Since I've been a domestic being this week, I've been cleaning and sorting some. The husband and I took about six bags of books out of our library yesterday, and the house has been thoroughly dusted. With my dust allergies, that does make for a sniffalicous good time. However, I'm weighing in to mention that [...]

We've been getting a lot of investigative hits from the new crop of Viable Paradise workshoppers. Welcome, VP XIV. Break a leg! And no, there is no documented account of Thursday night. Wonder and hope. Wonder and hope. *** I mentioned that I read a lot on the Readercon trip. Hey, what are you looking [...]
