OK... now what?

I did my walk... getting in a fast mile, and am thinking I need to do some calculating so that I have a place to walk *to*...

At one point I was "walking to a worldcon", so to speak, but that got away when I got sick.

I wonder if it makes sense for me to start on Friday or Monday...walking to Denvention 3?
Let's see, if I take the route my Delorme tells me I should take, it's roughly 2100 miles (2085.78). I'd have to figure the number of days between now and Denvention, assume 1 day off a week... whoa, that's quite a trip. Three miles a day or so, of the top of my head. Maybe I'll print it out and think about it. Of course if I start tomorrow, it won;t be as far per day...

Speaking of walking or not: I'm not the only one
who needs to watch that physical fitness


Meanwhile, I walked outside for an extra walk today and saw that... someone or something has stolen the last two day lily blooms. I'm...really sorry, if not aghast. Who eats day lily blooms, anyway? Could have been the wandering deer herd, I guess. I am officially bummed!

Does this mean you're actually thinking of being at Denver's worldcon in 2008?

Actually? Hmmm...

of the last few WorldCons held in North America we've been to:

2004: Noreascon 4, Boston, USA
2003: Torcon 3 Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
2002: ConJosé, San Jose, California, USA
2001: The Millennium Philcon, Philadelphia, USA
2000: Chicon 2000, Chicago USA
1998: BucConeer, Baltimore, USA
1997: LoneStarCon 2, San Antonio, USA*
(I was unable to attend, Sharon did attend)

which was 7 for 7, and now makes 7 of the last 8. Not too shabby.


We're planning on being at Denvention 3, we're trying to make it work that we'll be in St Louis for the NASFIC, as well, publishing schedule permitting.

In fact, your worldcon-attending is better than mine these last few years. By the way, about your musical choice above... I actually saw Janis Ian at the recent worldcon, at the TOR party. That lady is tiny.

Janis is tiny.. in size. She's got a remarkable presence in person, though, which you may have noticed. We saw her at a small concert in Kennebunk last spring and got a chnace to talk to her afterward... she's great. I'm not sure we have all of her albuma but we do have quite a few...
