36 hours off

[lagilman]

I'd love to say that I slept in until some decadent hour on Saturday but I'd be lying. I was up and drinking coffee by 7am. But I resisted the urge to noodle at a story, and instead got the apartment set to rights, so it looks like an average neatfreak lives there, rather than a writer in the grip of three deadlines. Then I went out to lunch, and stayed in for dinner [and a new-to-me wine from the Finger Lakes], and finally let myself read the Laurie King novel, THE LANGUAGE OF BEES. Short version: not one of her best, but new imperfect Laurie King is better than no Laurie King.

I did manage to sleep in this morning, until the weekend elephants upstairs annoyed me enough to get out of bed. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the flea market (and buy more coffee) or if it's finally time to get back to work...


Also, I have learned that the University of Maryland has a memorial for Jim Henson -- Jim and Kermit on a bench. I think I need to arrange a road trip at some point.

Fozzie, er, Keith, you game?

It's a very sweet memorial, and not too far of a drive from Shore Leave (hint, hint).

As I've said before, even if I had the finances that allowed me to add another convention to my schedule (I don't)... Shore Leave isn't my fannish or professional cuppa. Sorry.

She right, Jeff, Shore Leave is entirely the wrong con for our host.

Though not being too far from SL also means it's not too far from Balticon.....

Yeah, but there is also my master plan to get some fresh blood into Shore Leave meet the pros, etc. The list has been stagnant for a few years fairly much..

But you're right, even the Vineart stuff doesn't fit exactly into their space, though i actually suspect it would be well received.
