It’s good to be home again. Yes, we’ve been home for over a week; and yes, I haven’t told you anything about the rest of the Month On The Road Trip; but, yeah. Here we are. Vancouver continued to be delightful. We walked a lot, and figured out the transit, and even figured out the […]

Of the Month-of-Travel. We arrived in Vancouver (or, rather, a suburb thereof) yesterday evening, after a delightful day of travel (after a somewhat rushed travel-prep). Somewhat rushed because we ended up going hiking on our last day on Orcas Island, instead of cleaning and packing, because the weather was spectacular, and we just don’t know

There’s no way to catch up. I might as well start, at least. 🙂 It is the month-o-travel, more or less. We had Norwescon, which was a ton of fun–so many good people seen, an awesome release party for Julie’s Waking Up Naked in Strange Places, and lots of prints sold in the art show.

Yes, there are other things besides New Nephew going on in my life. 🙂 These last few weeks, I’ve been working very seriously on reorienting my schedule. I’ve got a lot of things on my plate, too much to ever get them all done. My method for dealing with all that has been to do

I sort of don’t remember what that was I mentioned weeks ago, the exciting things that I couldn’t tell you about yet. Okay, I remember one of them, and I still can’t tell you about it (but hopefully soon!), but the most exciting thing that’s happened since then wasn’t actually supposed to happen for a

Much has happened since I last posted! You may recall the anticipated arrival of my nephew…well, the little fellow was apparently tired of waiting around, and decided to show up two months early! There was some warning, and my brother and sister-out-law had plenty of time to get to exactly the right hospital, with the

Updated my website today! Put a few more pictures here and there. People like pictures. Right? Also, I got back into editing Queen & Tower this morning, after a week-plus of travel and other distractions. I managed to find my way back into the story, incorporate Mark’s latest round of feedback, and then write three

We’re back! From California, that is: a weeklong visit-fest, culminating in FogCon. Many wonderful things were done–friends and family seen, meals eaten, wine drunk–and now we are even more behind on All The Things. We spent every night (except for the two nights of FogCon) in a different city. Often the computer didn’t even get

This just in: rare and precious photos of my Nephew Under Construction! (And his parents.) Pensive Mother-To-Be: There’s a baby in there! I am sooooo excited about this. The little guy arrives at the end of May. Yay! ______________ In other news: not much other news. Workity work. The weather has become a little more

Monday started with my email being down, for hours, no explanation, no time estimate for it being fixed. And who-knows-how-many messages bounced back to their senders–I only know about the folks who wrote me on my gmail account (which I dislike and rarely use) to tell me their initial messages bounced. Meh! Makes me look
