pausing briefly in passing...

After some mild excitement on the trip up yesterday, I am posting (Boston? Again?) from Readercon, which isn't really in Boston but close enough for folk who can't keep the names of the towns around here straight ("are we in Cambridge? No? when does it stop being Cambridge and become ---? how can you tell?"), Many folk seen, been seen by many folk, panels went well, bar discussion was literary and scurrilous, often at the same time, the ritual lobsters (and in my case, crab) have been dismantled for dinner, and I went to bed at a reasonable hour (midnight). And I have Bought Books. Many Books. You'd think I was on vacation or something.

Now, am off to the gym and then my reading and the rest of the day. There may be pics later, depending on payments made.

Oh, and speaking of which, I just learned that my major freelance client is going to direct deposit. And the sound of gentle yayyyyying was heard throughout the hotel...


(oh, and e-mail informs me that a good friend's surgery has gone best case scenario and he should be home on Wednesday. *offers up burnt sacrifice to the gods of hospitals and cranky patients*)
