Three things plus the hint of a rant

[la_marquise]

First of all, through my letterbox this morning fell my copy of stillsostrange's debut novel The Drowning City. Yay! I am so looking forward to reading this.

Second of all, also through my letterbox fell four vols of a certain fantasy game book, last seen in the 1980s, for Vector. Er, what?

Third of all, I still can't make up my mind about World Fantasy Con (because writer brain is in one of its regular 'who are you kidding?' funks).

How's everyone?

And then there's Lockerbie. I haven't posted on this, because, you know, the world really doesn't need my four pen'orth. But, for the record, Scots died too. The event occurred in Scottish air space and the trial was held in Scotland. Scottish legal sovereignty. Scottish decision and that is right and proper. Because all lives are of equal value. US lives, Scottish lives, Iraqi lives, Fijian lives, you name them.

World Fantasy is going to rock. Also, the Tech Museum is starting a "Star Trek" exhibit the weekend before. It's going to be a blast.

I went and bought a membership.... It would be good to see you (and meet the turtles) and that in itself is a big lure.

Excellent! Like I said, you are more than welcome to stay with me. I suspect I'll have friends with hotel rooms who won't mind us stashing stuff there during the day, and I'm a very close drive to the hotel.

Many thanks.

If you come over for WFC, I'll make sure I get down for one day at least. Unless of course you and Karen want to come up here for dinner either before or just after the con.

I wasn't planning on really going because these days, I can't breathe and Howard can't hear in those big gatherings. Which somehow spoils the experience. :-)

I might even cook said dinner . . .
