She's on Readerville, yes?

Yes indeed, but I didn't know it at that point; I'd come across "The Big Nap" and giggled myself sick, because it's a total charmer. Found her website, found out she was not only funny and smart but married to Michael Chabon, and developed Instantaneous Shyness.

I expect I'd make a thorough fool of myself should I chat with her again, damnit.

I never expected to make connections with professional writers through fandom, and yet it's happening in weird ways. I'm 2 degrees from a number of people I really like. Very cool.

I ran into my sister's father-in-law at a con (actually, at a couple). He's retired now, but man, that was a serious disconnect. I've known him since I was 8, before he wrote sci-fi at all.

Heh. I'm realizing that I'm only two degrees from a lot of writers. Which I knew, kinda, but is making me take a step back and go "whoa."

Yep. She's listed in the Temple University directory. So, Philly.

<perks up>

Neat. I wonder if I have any excuse to email her.

I'm awaiting an email back, to give me Roz's current email addy.

Deb, I have a good e-mail address for Roz if it turns out you need it.

shrift, I'd love it. I pinged Deb Beale (who fixed me and Roz up in the first place) but I don't even know if she and Tad are in town right now.

Deb, e-mail sent to the Yahoo account Dana posted, since your profile didn't have one listed. (If that doesn't reach you, my profile address is valid.)

shrift, received and backflung (yahoo's my basic email, anything sent anywhere forwards there, luckily).

Received, and nice long "ashes, sackcloth, I'm a dog for not writing sooner, is all well?" letter in Roz's immediate future.

There's a slightly shrill article about Star Trek TOS and its followup incarnations here. The page I linked to contains several paragraphs of comment on "the world's first on-screen same-sex marriage" between Kirk and Spock.

Ooo, good old Kirk/Spock. Sometimes you can't beat the classics.
