May 09 update
Lame...just an update post. I've decided not to stress about it; my throat is killing me from allergies and the bourbon isn't helping, and all I want to do is go to bed. Actually, I want to stay up and write, but my throat is too distracting.

Went to a sci-fi/fantasy convention last weekend, Marcon. Went to interesting panels on Vampires in Literature, Shakespeare in Fantasy and Sci-Fi, and something about social media/networking... The high point of amusement of the weekend was when I got hit on by a charismatic Klingon. I may yet join them. :) Geeked out in my Bujold fandom by buying a "Barrayar" T-shirt and a book, "The Vorkosigan Companion", as well as an unrelated deck of Ruroni Kenshin playing cards, and enjoyed both Thai and Indian food which my stomach somehow survived.

Next weekend, I think I shall tackle the garden. If I can build the raised garden bed I've been wanting and replace the drooping supports for the grapevine, the garden will be in good shape. The sproutlings are overgrowing their little plastic trays, so they really need to be planted soon.

Feeling overheated and grouchy. Time for bed.

Blech. Sorry the allergies are giving you so much trouble. :P Zyrtec works for me. Much stronger than Claritain. Although I haven't tried bourbon yet...

Dylan and I used to go to Marcon back in the day (early 90's, when we first met). The last time we "paid" for Marcon, we did a couple panels on Saturday then nothing else, so we haven't been back. This was like 98.

My sis-in-law does the Iron Costumer contest and hangs out....you may have seen her around. Some of our friends still help and run the thing....but we would rather attend Origins (24-hour gaming starting Wednesday going through Sunday) at the end of June. More our thing.

Hope you feel better soon.

I saw the listing for the Iron Costumer contest, that sounded awesome. :) There was a gal dressed as Rainbow Brite that smiled and said hi as if she knew me, and I spent the rest of the weekend trying to figure out if I did know her -- was that her? :)

I hear tons about Origins, but we don't really do gaming so much. Although it might be a good place to find a D&D group...

You busy in the evenings during the week, say around 7-7:30? Dylan runs a 4th edition D&D campaign every other Monday at our house, in case you are interested. You can email him at dfraser@columbusmicro.com...he'll give you more info in case....
