You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Boston-area Buffistas! I will be in Boston from Sunday, August 2, to Sunday, August 9. I will be staying with a friend that second weekend, so I may not be free, but during the week, I'm good. Let's have dinner and dominate at pub trivia or something. I'm staying at the same hotel as last time, the Sheraton Boston by the Prudential Center.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

If some of y'all would think kindly of my old friend Brian today, I would appreciate it. He's been battling esophagal cancer since January, and while it seemed to disappear for a while, his liver has been shutting down for a couple of days now. Things look bad, and he's having an operation today. The guy is 38, married to another old friend, and has three delightful and very young children. They're in Huntsville AL, so please direct your kind thoughts that way.

I know I haven't been around much lately, but if I could have some interview ~ma for tomorrow afternoon, it would be very much appreciated. If all goes well, there'll be a London Buffista in the near future...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I don't know if there are any Buffistas in Montreal, but I'll give this a shot:

G and I will be in Montreal the week of August 3rd. Mostly to attend Worldcon, but we're going to do some sightseeing as well. Profile e-mail is good.

What is even happening?

My cousin George died tonight after a year long battle with liver cancer. He left nothing undone. He finished his son's financial aid paperwork for his sophomore year of college, walked to bed and began the process. Please keep his son and wife in your thoughts and/or prayers. Thanks sweet Buffistas.

Now tagless for your comfort.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Going dark for two weeks in Canada. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone!

I am home from my travels in Nepal and Bhutan. In love with both. Tired. More as recovery occurs.

I'm going to be mostly dark(probably will check e-mail occasionally) for the next 10 days while we go to Montreal.

Quality interview-ma guys! I got the job! Mr. Jars and I will be moving to London in early September, all going well.
