Also should be noted that if we went and met Nilly's family, they'd go just as nuts trying to feed us.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

But just think, Nora -- this way you don't have to worry about bringing a bottle of wine!
I greatly look forward to seeing Nilly, and also Nora and Tom and everybody else, and I'll still be looking forward to it even if you only serve olives and mushrooms.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have returned!
My plane was delayed an hour, but I got home *just* barely in time to shower and change, and am now back at work. Am BEYOND swamped, or I'd recap. But I had a magnificent time, and am already missing people. Can't wait to see Nilly again this weekend!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Nilly seeing and visiting looks like so much fun. Lovely how everyone is pulling together, offering advice and calm words.
That's all, just admiring from flyover country.

Our wings are not tired.
Yawn. I'm home. Sleep was not an option on the trip home so tired now.
SF trip was glorious. Pictures and commentary to follow after actual sleep.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Can't wait to see Nilly again this weekend!

I helped Deb put Nilly (and I think we need to give serious thought to beth's spelling of !Nlly) on the Supershuttle for the airport at 6AM. I made her promise to wake me up to say goodbye, but I don't think I slept more than 20 minutes at a time until Deb's whispered wakeup call.
I've crossed meeting so many Buffistas off my Life List this weekend, although there are still several names unchecked. But I also checked a thing off my list: talking Firefly with Nilly. That was wonderful. It was very poignant last night talking with her over the people she's met and the things she did with them. She pulled out her little Moomin figure and explained it to me, "Hec gave me this. And JZ! We were talking and she said our conversation reminded her of a book. And she loaned me this!" She held up a copy of A Wrinkle in Time. "She said, 'Just send it back when you're finished.' Isn't she the best?" She got all her stuff packed and then it was time for bed. My last night with my roomie. No wonder I couldn't sleep.
But I caught a nap, and there was evidence Deb may have done, too, after Nilly was safely aboard the shuttle. She's a joy and a wonderful spirit. You east coasties have much to look forward to. Tell her we miss her already.
