Readercon for me this weekend! I go to pick up a friend from the train at 4 and drive her up to the hotel, so goodness starts early!
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Our wings are not tired.
We've gone a week without hot water, but it was during the summer after a hurricane and "cold" showers was just fine. Cold water in Florida is not cold.

I'm missing Readercon (and various silly shuttle rides with Theo) but I get HPF back late Friday and I wouldn't miss that pickup for the world. We've been getting some pretty sad letters, but yesterday, they seem to have turned a corner... So hoping she's having a good time.

Aww, I hope HPF has good things to tell you. I sent a postcard from SJI.

Whoops, just startled the hell out of Maria. Hopefully coffee will make a good peace offering.

And, because I needed coffee before I knew what day it was: Happy Birthday, Sox!

Many happy returns, Sox!
I went bed early and slept soundly and still am so tired. Do not like. Well, would like fine if I could take the day off and sleep, actually, but that's not happening today.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy birthday, Sox!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Sox!
He survived.
It looks like he knows what he's talking about. Sorta.
