I'll be at BayCon this weekend, doing panels and a reading or two, in San Jose. Anyone lurking whom I may not know, and who might wander in and introduce themselves, well, I'd be very pleased.

Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Going dark for the weekend; everybody have a safe and fun few days.
Thanks for the house~ma.
My broker just called with the news that they accepted my offer for the house.
Through hyperventilating for the moment, anyway. I'm releasing the house ~ma back into the wild.
Going very gray for the next little bit, as I'm starting a new project. Email addy good.
Requesting general health-ma for the Cambridge area. Hey, Cantabridgeans need all the help we can get! (Yes, I just like the word Cantabridgean.)
The spring book cleaning has begun... even though Spring's almost over.
If you want any of these, let me know by email (profile is good).

I am completely in awe of the Buffistas at the moment. I just received the most amazing package in the mail, filled with tons of Lush products, from everyone as a thank you for the basket I sent to the F2F. I am overwhelmed and have no idea what to say, so I will simply say thank you. I feel honored to know such amazing people.
I'm really being a hog with all the ~ma lately, but I need some more. Any recovery~ma flung to PA would be wonderful. My father had an accident cutting the grass on Saturday and managed to shatter his kneecap and break his tibia in 3 places. Yesterday's surgery to repair everything went well, but he will be mostly bedridden for the next 2 months. If he can't put weight on his leg after that, we're looking at another hospital visit for a knee replacement.

Enough, please. I'm tired.
I'm going to be in Seattle from June 23rd to the 28th. I want to play with Buffistas. I'm pretty much coming up just to hang out and have a good time, no other reason.
